What would it take for you to moderate an online community?
Particularly for the people who have never done so, and/or have never considered it. For the sake of conversation, it could be any size. Would you want compensation? Mere acknowledgement? Both?
Just a friendly positive group is all I would care about. I believe in minimal moderation and communities that self regulate. A mod is just for kicking out Nazis and penis pill bots.
An understanding and flexible group because I have a kid and can't always fit a regular schedule
I've made a couple communities on here that I want to see migrate over from reddit. I've never moderated but if it grows organically and not too rapidly then I'll do my bestyself to learn as I go but if they get big at some point I'll be looking to hand over the reigns to someone more experienced with more time and dedication. I wouldn't want compensation as long as there are enough tools that let moderating just be a small part of my day.
What dev?
He is probably talking about the pixelfed dev that just took a few days off because of people being too stupid to understand why he had a meeting with Meta.
Both Lemmy devs have no such drama posted on Lemmy or Mastodon, I just checked.
Sorry, I was trying to respond to an entirely different post. I'm still not sure how that happened.
