you should clarify if these are volunteer positions or paid, and what level of hours/commitment are expected as such.
This is a volunteer platform, and as such no one is paid. Applicants may include their availability info and be considered accordingly.
You think people are paid to do this?
How many hours a week would you expect a member to contribute?
If someone's primary account is on another instance, can they still help out?
ex. I have a lemmy.world account for cross instance moderation, but I don't really have to use most of the time
Since it's more focused on Lemmy World communities it would make sense to have some affinity with the instance so a local account would be preferred.
Makes sense :)
Ages ago on reddit I got banned from r/justiceserved for merely commenting on r/conservative this was on a post about tianmemen square they had a autobot set up which'll automatically check wherever someone subscribes comments or posts prehaps it'll be worth considering maybe trying do moderation differently on lemmy to reddit is
Same here. I got banned from leaving a comment questioning an antivax subreddit that another subreddit used an autoban bot to monitor. There was no attempt to take context into consideration. This type of moderation behavior should be unacceptable.
That's a smart move ๐
Nice
I usually tell reporters to down-vote and scroll. Not clear how downvote effects lists but I only remove obvious spam or off topic. Created a few communities when this place was a ghost-town and 2 days later the reddit hordes arrived. smh. No way I'm screening every post now. up/down votes should count for something. Currently if someone reports a post, I check up/down votes to see what community thinks. Maybe give an option to sort by up votes. Or maybe there is already a way. Volunteer mods only have to ask and have a profile history. I'm old and don't need this shit.
I would like to apply please. For the community engagement team
Nope
For all of those who are down voting the nope, read the instructions on how to apply in the post. You all failed that trick test teachers handed out in grade school, where if you actually read the instructions, it tells you to put your name on the paper and put down your pencil without trying to answer any of the questions on the test, because the test is โdo you pay attention to shitโ not โdo you know the answersโ.
For some reason this gives me corporate vibes
Applied! Hoping I can help. :(
You were banned from Discuit for having a tantrum over not being made an administrator, banning people from communities you moderated because you argued with them on Discord, doxxing another member, being racist, and then when an administrator tried to pull you into line you told them fuck off.
Any platform that gives you a position of power over anyone else is doomed to die.
Edit: add to that list, ban evasion on Discuit to promote the fact you now have a position of power on here. Poor move Admins. This place is doomed
Lmao. None of that is true. Pigeon is a friend but not me. I was NEVER racist and the only people banned were right wing nutjobs. The doxxing is bs as I only said their publicly available google name that was a username anyway and not a name. That discuit admin was a dick and hated by many. Go back to the Discuit circlejerk.
I just emailed you !!
Can we make it a site wide policy to NOT have supermods?
I've already identified a couple of users who are accumulating mod positions like MTG cards, and some are the most toxic and intentionally astringent users who are constantly involved in all the drama.
After modding for over 15 years at the other place, it has strongly solidified my opinion that the only people that want to be mods are broken people that love the surge of power they get from being a water-cooler dictator. Modding should be a job nobody actively wants, and when they do it they do it with reservations, reluctance and a tinge of resentment.
100% agreed. A bad mod is a dictator trying to rule over others. A good mod is more a janitor, someone who works in the background to keep the place clean for others to enjoy, and doesn't expect to be worshipped.
I agree with this opinion. at least put more well respected people of the @lemmy.world community in charge could have a vote on it as well that way everyone has a say in the final outcome
