MODERATORS
I'm happy to help moderate. I currently mod several small communities here on lemmy including !boinc@sopuli.xyz and !scientificcomputing@lemmy.ml and would gladly add this one. I also have experience modding some reddit subs.
To be honest, I'd hate to see the same thing happen here as Reddit.
On Reddit, the problem is there are a small number of people who are modding a huge number of communities
And not sure if that's a good thing
That's not a problem specific to reddit. It happens because only a small portion of people step up to moderate. You'll see the same dynamic play out in all leadership roles whether you're talking about reddit, your local government, volunteer organizations, open source projects, etc.
You can be part of the solution if you step up to be a mod.
Some of those Mods on reddits Moderate dozens of subs though.
I think if they simply ask for mods though, they'd get some.. I'd be happy to mod, but, there might be better candidates
It's not. Power hungry individuals only want more power, not the responsibility the signed up for.
thanks!
