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’ll put my name forward as a potential mod but whoever you pick, just please for the love of god make sure they aren’t a tankie. You can usually sus them out by asking about the holodomor or the molotov-ribbentrop pact.
I can play custodian if you need it. It’d be super lame to see this community get goofed on by spam or bigoted stuff, after managing to regrow so fast.
