So far these communities have been great, and have needed absolutely no moderation action, but I’m not always available to make sure that this is the case. Please leave a comment here outlining your strengths and weaknesses as a moderator and why you think you’d be a good fit for this community.
It may take me some time to respond.
I might be interested, however, I’m not sure if I would be a great fit.
On the one hand, I moderate a smaller community on this instance ([email protected] (vore-related community), and on my main account on another instance, I moderate five communities, though none have needed any moderator action to date. I also have experience as a former Discord mod for a community of 20K plus members.
On the other hand, I’m ace, and only lightly into BDSM, if you can even call my interests that. I think the memes here are enjoyable though, which is why I follow the community. However, while I’m sure action against accounts based on their involvement elsewhere on LemmyNSFW likely won’t be common at all, if a situation arises where I do need to check an account’s posting history, I likely won’t be of much help considering I have a very large community blocklist.
That’s fair. I tend to prefer light-touch moderation (basically only removing or blocking/banning when something becomes a real problem), so not being able to review history in other communities is fine since we’d only be judging on what we see here.
That seems fine. With my moderating approach I’ve always kinda been more along the lines of zero tolerance, but never done so much as to seek out reasons or whatever, I’m definitely able to take a more soft approach as I’ve taken that approach before in much smaller spaces.
Might be because my first moderation experiences were on Twitch, and it was usually important there to try and catch people before they acted rather than when because of the live nature of things.
Sounds good, let’s give it a shot then.
Thanks! I’ll be sure to check in at least twice a day
That sounds great, though with the pace of things right now, that may be too much. Whatever pace works best for you, it’s greatly appreciated.
