A good example is https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries

One of their mods, https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah, currently mods 54 communites despite only being on Lemmy for about a month and has never posted on c/documentaries (except for his post asking for people to join his mod team).

The other mod, https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort, has one post to c/documentaries and moderates 18 communities.

Does Lemmy.World have a plan to remove this kind of cancer before we start getting reddit supermods here too?

Edit: This comment shows how this is even more dangerous than I had thought.

Edit2: Official answer from LW admin is here

Final: Was going to create an issue for this on the Lemmy github, but I browsed for awhile and found that it had already been done. If anyone wants to continue the discussion there, here it is - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

Perhap we need another issue for the problem in the original edit (It being impossible currently to remove a 'founding' mod without destroying either the community of their account)

I mod 3 very small communities (less than 800 subscribers total) but other than creating the communities and posting some content to get the ball rolling I haven’t actually done any modding. I’m not sure what there is to do. No one has tagged or messaged me, no ones reported anything… am I inactive, redundant or just a terrible mod?!

[-] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just ban a random user each week to show you're still active.

You have enough users to make it at least 800 weeks!

I offer myself as tribute 🥺

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You have been permanently banned from !wimbledon@sh.itjust.works I bet you’re gutted… 😂

[-] buffalo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I’m not happy about. But I did what must be done. They will remember me.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey man, I just put it to a vote and the community (me) have decided to honour your sacrifice by making a new header/banner thing dedicated to you. Something real classy in MS paint maybe?

[-] buffalo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

You’re too kind. The knowledge that I’ll be in the hearts and mind of the community (you), is honor enough, new friend.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Goddammit, the only option is to ban myself from one of them…

[-] boeman@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Are you really banning yourself when you're SomeoneElse?

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Gotta keep them on their toes and show them who's boss!

[-] Nawor3565@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is still small enough that you may just be getting lucky with everyone behaving themselves. If no one is reporting anything, just try to stay in-the-loop with the general goings on in the community so you can jump in if something does happen.

I run a small community of under 100 users. Everyone's been following the rules so far, and there hasn't been very much that has needed my attention. I still try to make an occasional post and interact with posts that other users make (favorite, boost, comment).

I think that if you're at least interacting with your communities in some way, you should be good!

[-] Spectator@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just experienced my first actual report. 🙃

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I thought I was going to have to sticky a “friendly reminder; no transphobia” post earlier. It was touch and go but I think it came down on the right side of the discussion/argument divide.

What was your report? Did you get ban-happy?!
