Hey there,
This post is to let you know that
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works and myself have recently been appointed as admins here by @TheDude@sh.itjust.works to help them and @imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works with moderation.
We've been meaning to introduce ourselves for a while, but hadn't taken the time just yet, here it is.
I'll be posting more about me as a comment below because this is getting long already.
Bonjour,
@TheDude nous a récemment ajouté, @kersploosh et moi comme admins dans le but d'aider l'équipe (@TheDude et @imaqtpie) avec la modération du site.
Ça fait un moment que nous voulions faire ce post pour s'introduire, alors voilà.
Je vais écrire un peu plus d'info à mon sujet dans un commentaire ci-bas.
Hi everyone! I'm happy to join the admin team here at sh.itjust.works.
About me as a person:
I'm a mechanical engineer working in the medical device field. I am American and have lived in four different time zones, but I consider the Pacific northwest my home. I love cycling and try to commute by bicycle at least a few days a week, year-round. I also love cooking, skiing, backpacking, paddling, and fishing. My favorite international trips have been to Scotland, Sweden, and Brazil.
About me on Lemmy:
I have tried to take a "Yes, and..." approach on Lemmy, getting involved and contributing wherever and whenever the opportunity arises. I expect my biggest contribution as an admin will be battling the slow but steady stream of spam and troll posts. My biggest struggle (both as an admin and a community mod) has been walking the fine line between allowing disagreements and debates, and cutting off unacceptable speech. Be kind, be humble, and be good to each other.
Feel free to send me a direct message or reach out over Matrix if you ever have a question!
