Would some people be interested in moderating a fediversememes community? (feddit.org)

An list of potential memes: https://feddit.org/post/2379333/1722394

A meme posted to [email protected] : https://feddit.org/post/2421485

@[email protected] already expressed interest.

For me, there are a few pros and cons.

Pros:

Memes are an easy way to convey a message
Fediverse-specific content is always nice

Cons

Memes communities tend to be very popular
Due to the topic of the community, there might be some heated debates and discussions in the comments (the example above with the vegan cat food is a good example). That might be quite time-consuming to follow and moderate

Based on this, I think we would need probably at least 5 mods to make sure the community stays sufficiently moderated.

Are any of you interested?

By the way, which instance would you like to host it on?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might as well be lemm.ee.

Actually I just remember lemmy.zip could be nice too

@[email protected] would you like to mod too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for asking, but memes are not my thing. Though, I can add a mention to the community in [email protected] sidebar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Alright, we'll keep you posted

I'm all about the memes, so feel free to use dbzer0

Thanks for offering! Do you know mods on your instance who would be interested in modding this community with us?

Also bear in mind that Admins also get reports and can step in to help out - dbzero has half a dozen.

Ah no I don't have anyone specific in mind. But they don't have to be from my instance anyway. Personally I find that at the start of a comm, there's not much moderation needed anyway
