Hi guys! I’m looking for moderators for this sub. Roles of moderators will be:
1.) Responding to reported posts/comments.
2.) Creating and maintaining rules for the community.
3.) Creating and maintaining megathreads.
4.) And some other things.
About me and this community:
I’m not the right person to moderate this community and I need people that are deep into the topic of antiwork/work reform, are willing to help in organising this sublemmy and giving it a direction. After getting moderators for this sub I will stay as a head mod for some weeks or maybe months to see how things develop and if moderators that I have choosen are doing things properly. Maybe we could even implement a way for choosing and demoting mods democratically but I’m not sure how that would even look like. If the community decides to do things democratically then I will probably have to stay as a tool that will be demoting/assigning mods when community decides so.
To the people that want to apply for a mod postion, start your comment with “mod application” or other obvious keywords that will let me know that you are trying to apply and not just comment something.
In your application please include your background and relationship with this movement and how you would like to help it move forward. Please avoid writing too short applications, make them long enough for us to learn more about you. Thank you!
Mod Application:
Honestly, I may not be what you are looking for based on your post, but I figured I would offer.
While I wholeheartedly support the anti-work/work-reform/anti-corporate movement(s) going on, I don’t know that I would say that I’m…close to them? I’m not organizing protests or scouring the web for posts. I support it. I’ll interact when I have something relevant to say, but I’m not someone that may be able to drive the engagement you are looking for.
That said, I founded, run, and own a large (20k+) member Discord server built from nothing. I’m a freelance developer including more custom discord bots than I can count. I would be dabbling with automation here, but I have no real drive as of yet. While I’m not active as much as some, I check in to Lemmy fairly often through the day.
So I may not be your community driver, but I am familiar with moderation to say the least. If you end up needing someone with a very long moderation, community management, back-end planning, and development experience, I would be happy to help. If you find those qualities in other applicants, I happily cede my application to them.
Tbh, it’s more of a preference for what I would want to happen to this sub. It’s not a hard requirement or anything like that.
This skill may be usefull for making custom bots for this sub I think. But that will depend on mods/people what kind of bots will be used. For example, it can be used for pointing out misconceptions about something when someone’s comment has a certain keywords.
