Hello World,

Due to our pace of growth, our platform ended up with thousands of communities created by you, our dear users. While we are still appreciative of every community effort, we decided we need to be able to better assist and publicize them. To assist with this effort, we now have two community team positions available:

  • The Community Engagement Team: This team will work with community moderators and find ways to increase their engagement, provide them with easy access to logo and banner options, and communicate with you better to assure transparency as needed. Team capacity: 6 new members expected
  • The Community Management Team: This team will be responsible of making sure communities have active moderators, assuring compliance in Lemmy.World communities, and keeping track of community moderation logs in order to assure they are moderated in good health. Team capacity: 6 new members expected

Both of these teams will be working closely with the admin team, and are expected to become ways for our users to have enhanced control of their instance. Let's build something great together!

All applications must include the following information:

Can we make it a site wide policy to NOT have supermods?

I've already identified a couple of users who are accumulating mod positions like MTG cards, and some are the most toxic and intentionally astringent users who are constantly involved in all the drama.

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

After modding for over 15 years at the other place, it has strongly solidified my opinion that the only people that want to be mods are broken people that love the surge of power they get from being a water-cooler dictator. Modding should be a job nobody actively wants, and when they do it they do it with reservations, reluctance and a tinge of resentment.

[-] justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

100% agreed. A bad mod is a dictator trying to rule over others. A good mod is more a janitor, someone who works in the background to keep the place clean for others to enjoy, and doesn't expect to be worshipped.

100%

This was the downfall of reddit for me, and I fear that it's playing out again here ๐Ÿ˜

How would you deal with one person with multiple accounts? I don't know how youd deal with the round about way of being a supermod

[-] SeethingSloth@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Can't second this enough

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 90 points 11 months ago

you should clarify if these are volunteer positions or paid, and what level of hours/commitment are expected as such.

[-] lwadmin@lemmy.world 146 points 11 months ago

This is a volunteer platform, and as such no one is paid. Applicants may include their availability info and be considered accordingly.

[-] Number1SummerJam@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

How many hours a week would you expect a member to contribute?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 31 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If someone's primary account is on another instance, can they still help out?

ex. I have a lemmy.world account for cross instance moderation, but I don't really have to use most of the time

[-] antik@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

Since it's more focused on Lemmy World communities it would make sense to have some affinity with the instance so a local account would be preferred.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago

Makes sense :)

[-] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

I would like to apply please. For the community engagement team

For all of those who are down voting the nope, read the instructions on how to apply in the post. You all failed that trick test teachers handed out in grade school, where if you actually read the instructions, it tells you to put your name on the paper and put down your pencil without trying to answer any of the questions on the test, because the test is โ€œdo you pay attention to shitโ€ not โ€œdo you know the answersโ€.

[-] Zealousideal_Fox900@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Applied! Hoping I can help. :(
