/m/politics has no moderators other than ernest (kbin.social)

/m/politics is basically unmoderated, and the trolls and other ne'er-do-wells are starting to find it. I'm not even particularly interested in following it, but that's one topic that you don't want to leave unmoderated. It's a troll magnet for obvious reasons, and that starts to affect the rest of the instance (and the fediverse) if there isn't anyone enforcing some sort of decorum.

@ernest I know you're ridiculously busy right now, but could you find a moment to appoint someone to recruit a mod team for /m/politics? I'd be willing to do the recruiting if you don't have any better candidates, but I wouldn't want to remain on as a moderator after that's done.

Alternatively does anyone here actively want the job?

Honestly taking a glance at it it's doing shockingly well for being effectively unmoderated (if the number beside moderation log means what I think it does, there have been no moderator actions, though maybe "admin actions" don't show up there or something).

I doubt that will last though.

Yeah, I only saw two threads that got mucked up, and even those could have been a lot worse. It'll deteriorate if given time though.
