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!

    I spend enough time here that I’d be willing to help out. I think I can be a pretty good judge and allow opinions that are wildly different from mine as long as they contribute to a conversation.

    I’m just not real motivated to compete with a bunch of other people who really want the job and will grovel to get it. I’m happy to help; I’m not desperate for an unpaid position in order to lord power over people.

    I’d basically do it because I’ve been on the wrong end of bad moderation, and I don’t want to see more of it.

    (I was permanently banned from r/leagueoflegends for saying Covid wouldn’t be fatal for a team of young 20-somethings that were all vaccinated. It was in a post about a team catching Covid. My statement isn’t perfect, but it sure didn’t seem worthy of permanent removal on a first offense.)
