[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The hell u talkin' 'bout, boyeee?

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Just out of curiosity, what's the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Less likely to accidentally loose access due to defederation? 🤷‍♂️

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Yea that makes sense.

[-] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 months ago

Federation shenanigans would be my guess. If you were on instance B and moderating instance A then instance B admins would have control of your account instead of instance A admins. So if for some reason instance B admins decide to ban that user then they are prevented from moderating for instance A.

Or more commonly, if your account is on instance B and instance B goes down, good luck moderating insurance A

[-] Discover5164@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.

but don't take my word for it, i don't have a source.

I've experienced issues like reports arrive late for external moderators, and post actions only work, and not comment and user actions. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3781

[-] incompetentboob@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago

I’ll take one for the team, bang through some privileges and I’ll start moderating the shit out of this community.

No pooping, beans and stroganoff for everyone!

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

No poop for you!

Man, what a poop nazi.

[-] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 9 points 7 months ago

I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.

[-] Kushia@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

I've been posting a bunch and could help out if you need it.

Possible sequel to Mars Needs Moms: Memes Needs Mods

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.

Overall I'm not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I'll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Done, thanks!

  1. I'm on lemmy.ml
  2. I have posted here several times, some posts reaching 500+ upvotes
  3. Can enforce rules
[-] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Hey @dessalines@lemmy.ml I would love to moderate!

[-] Designate6361@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I'll do it as long as I can post more Possum memes

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I’m slowly migrating to the Fediverse. Just created pixel fed account.

Posted a meme.

Two questions:

When I view my post in my account I see a link to image instead of image.

And not sure how to sort memes by new.

And to the topic of this thread… I would like to volunteer but I’m still finding me way. When I’m more confident I shall volunteer.

just a question: is moderating any different in lemmy than reddit? like can a moderator power trip here?

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don't get to know if they're blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.

Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.

I don't know if there're any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

to add to the other comment, I think mods can still power trip here. Though I think there's one thing protecting from that: the instance admins can reassign the mods. And though it is technically the same as reddit, in reality your instance admins are way more responsive that Reddit admins.
