Hi all,
I'm an admin on lemmy.blahaj.zone, /196's home instance. I'm not a member of /196, and I'm not familiar with its history. However, I'm seeing a LOT of reports coming through that aren't being actioned by community mods.
It looks like the original mod has deleted their account, and the remaining mod hasn't been active since their initial post 2 days ago.
What I'm hoping to see is that @threegnomes logs back in, appoints some mods and gets things under control.
But should that not happen, I'm going to need to step in and appoint some mods myself
Either way, if you're interested in being a mod, please reply below. I (and hopefully @threegnomes) will look at everyone that gets lots of community support (via upvotes or replies) and put some more mods in.
Lots of upvotes doesn't mean you automatically get the job. I reserve the right to veto candidates that I think are going to create more work rather than reduce it.
I wonder if any automoderation tools exist for Lemmy yet? I'd be willing to take a crack at building some but if an open-source project for that already exists I'd rather contribute there.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any functional tools yet, but I've seen a few people mention interest so there might be some brand new projects.
I just made a post about it on [email protected] so hopefully if any are in the works I'll find out.
@ShittyKopper appears to be working on something called @lemmod publicly on a community on this instance I don't know how much progress they made.
