More about being a mod? (self.asklemmy)

I've always been a lurker, but now seeing lemmy's growth, I figured I would like to contribute somehow.

Would becoming a mod be a good way to do it? How? What does it take to be a good mod?

You can contribute as mod.

The general gist of being a mod is to check for rule violations of the sub your modding in and the general unspoken rules obviously that everyone knows ( no racism, insults and so on)

You also shouldn't act on your thinking and more based on these rules.

Being a good mod is probably more about restraint and calm than it is about being a stickler for rules. Because you will get called named and threatened at some point.
