This is the community for all things hacking and cybersecurity, try keeping it legal. That said I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens/comes from this group but I will try being the best mod that I can to prevent anything from happening.

The hacking community on Reddit is imo one of the most toxic communities. Nearly every question someone asks the top comment is someone talking shit about OP, insulting them, or just gatekeeping hacking in general. We were all new once, if someone asks a script kiddie question, then help them out and point them in the right direction.

It seems like you care about !Hacking@lemmy.ml . Why don't you head over !community_requests@lemmy.ml and ask to become the moderator here? You'll probably get it easily as @qarmah didn't show any activity in the past three years.

Then you can set out the rules and influence the culture here, build a team of mods and make this a nice place. I'm trying to do the same on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml (and yes, I got the moderator rights a few days after requesting. In a funny turn of events, the original moderator popped up again as well. I did an open call for mods, and there are 5 mods in total now.

I tried a while back and never heard anything. I'll try again though, thanks!

Good luck! I have to mention that I was active on the osm-community since the Reddit-failover and also included some other accounts to prove my involvement. That might have helped.
