    I’m down

    I currently mod [email protected] and [email protected]

    I’ve actually thought about starting a Linux community that isn’t on lemmy[.]ml but I never got around to it.

    Edit: You might want to choose someone from this instance. I’m down if no one else wants to but it seems we have lots of volunteers

      That shouldn’t be an issue. Hopefully other people will volunteer too, and you’ll have a group of people to mod it together.

        If that is the case, I would be happy to help. I was hesitating, because I cannot guarantee to be always (Lemmy-)online, but then I read the modlog ;-), and if I wouldn’t be the only mod too, this sounds really attractive.

    No modding experience, but Linux & tech news remain a strong hyperfixation interest of mine. If that’s enough, I could give it a shot.

    I would like to try. I am a very passionate GNU/Linux user and advocate who spends much time on Lemmy and who would like to keep future discussion in this community civil and on-topic. But I do not have any modding experience so far, however, I have successfully helped transition friends and local institutions (partially) to GNU/Linux and to use FOSS programs.

      Oh bummer, forgot about that. Assuming it needn’t be my only/main account, I could create a p.dev one, if it helps.

        That would be great! Feel free to comment here with it once it is created!

          More people than I expected volunteered, which is nice to see. Since I ended up creating an account, I’ll leave it here anyway.

              I volunteered because I worried for the community. There were few comments and I couldn’t sit by when it seemed so straightforward to step up for the sake of something I care about.

              Later, admins shared that they’d been taking care of it (things were never as dire as I feared), and they’ve since appointed actual moderators. Even one with actual experience, too! I trust things will be fine, now.

              All this to say: I’ll be here as an option, should you want more people, but I’m happy with how things turned out. Much better than the communities that (sadly) spend months looking for volunteers.

    I can do it, I don’t see many people from this instance. From what I know cross instance modding is still buggy. I can help if there is a need for someone from programming.dev

    My only qualification is that I use Nix(btw) :-)

    Thanks everyone who volunteered, going to reach out to some people soon (will be prioritizing people with programming.dev accounts)

    10 months without moderation and it looks that clean?! Not a single pair of anime titties and no link to a prescription free online pharmacy? Lemmy never ceases to amaze me…

      for us admins we generally tend to let the community mods handle their community’s reports

      and for communities that are either:

      • not on our instance or
      • is on our instance but has no current active mods,

      then we’ll take over for moderating those communities till we find people who want to try becoming moderators🤗

        Yeah, half of those entries is me stepping in as an admin to ban/remove users breaking instance wide rules, which supersedes community specific moderation. In fact, all of those entries are either admins or automod stepping in.

        Thanks for pointing that out, although it still seems to be unbelievably civil in here…

          Keep in mind, for the target community, the most strident arguments tend to be fights over licenses or which shade of black make the best socks.
