Hello we are currently looking for moderators for our community, if you would like to help us out please write a short comment below explaining why you’d like to join the team to help us out. If you have any experience moderating other communities on lemmy or subreddits feel free to share that.

Also if you currently moderate !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone and also wish to moderate here please comment below with your mod account saying so. Current moderators of oneninesix will get priority if they wish to join the team here, as well as current admins of blahaj.zone if they wish to join. (Note, you must comment with your mod account to get this benefit.)

A local account on here on the pawb.social instance is lightly recommended but not required to be a mod here. You may apply with any account on any instance federated with this one.

    I don’t personally think so. They are getting priority, but I will still accept other people onto the team. The main reason I’m inviting them is because this community is intended as a complementary or sibling community to the main one ǃ196@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is more general, while this one is still general but centered around a specific topic/niche. I’m not too worried about interference, or them preventing us from even though we’ll have a shared team, since it is clear our communities are similar but still different. Plus simply by virtue of being on a different instance and being mostly furry related this place already has a different and unique identity than the original one.

        I’d agree with you but the mods of this community have shown considerably more professionalism and don’t have a history of abusing power. Which is more than I can say about mods in lemmy.world’s biggest communities.

        I also trust them to moderate against bigotry and hate speech effectively. Which is important because 196 is supposed to be a queer friendly safe space.

          Power corrupts. I wouldn’t want to be the reason a responsible mod starts making bad decisions.

            Well feel free to apply if you’d like to help out. Right now the need for mods is significantly greater than the amount applying.
