Has anyone stepped up to take over moderation of this magazine? (kbin.social)

I cannot personally dedicate the time to moderation, but I do want to be active in this magazine.

However, we are in need of community guidelines and moderators because @ernest is already a very busy person (_greatly appreciate all your work!!_). There are already a few bad faith actors in this community space that are dominating the airwaves with bigotry and reporting them is fairly ineffective right now because there's only one moderator who is actually the instance dev.

Would anyone in this community space like to take over moderation here? Basic requirement: positive reputation score. I think if we talk it out and then reach out to Ernest, he can promote two or three people to moderate.

I have sent a DM to @ernest to ask we be added to the mod team here. I checked out all of your profiles and it's clear that you all make positive contributions to a variety of communities with both engaging comments and thread submissions based on reputation scores. It's also clear that none of us are political die-hards and we are multi-faceted users. If @ernest is open to it and we establish the mod team, we can coordinate between ourselves later. I'll DM each of you with that info when it's time to cross that bridge.

@Grumps If we move up as mods, can you be a very dedicated community member and report bad faith commenters and rage-bait threads whenever you see them? And help communicate in other threads in !politics that we will be responsive to new reports made to the moderators?
