I think this calls for a feature where appointing moderators is something that should be confirmed or rejected on the receiving account.
Is there an issue for this kind of thing already open? I wasn't able to find one
Hey I guess I should probably update my CV to include "Internet moderator" now...
Kidding aside, I don't want to disrupt the community and the members just to get noticed. I don't even know how I got to be a moderator in the first place, and I'm not sure a mod can just pick anyone and make them a mod without that person's approval.
With such communities, there is barely anything to do as a moderator. Once every year, someone will whine at you because another one is "rude". You just ignore him. Maybe an advertisement or two to remove. That's all.
there isn't karma as such, but up/downvotes are readily available and from that you can trivially get a total to display.
In theory there's even nothing preventing you from using a fancier algorithm to calculate something like reddit's karma, but then that wouldn't agree with what most clients display.

While I appreciate the humor, this happened without my knowledge and consent and I don't want to moderate.

Yeah that's how Reddit does it. They invite you as mod, then you have to accept it by clicking a link in your PMs.
It's your supervillain origin story, you can't escape it.
You are chosen, we need you. Don't fail us, you are our only hope.
CHOSEN ONE! WEEOO WEEOO WEEOO!
I see Kung Pow, I upvote.
UPDATE
So apparently I was transferred ownership and moderation of this community.
Made a report using this post and it seems like an admin(?) noticed and is taking action.
I guess instead of "Chosen One" this makes me the "Appointed One"???
Thanks everyone!
Hmmm
You're the best man for the job. We took a vote.
You can check out anytime you like, but...you can never leave.
Hmmm....
Edit: the admins are working on it (:
Make a comment in the community and remove yourself as a mod from the comment.
Wtf, I thought there's no personal karma on Lemmy at all. Y U have karma?
Idk, I'm using Boost and that's what it shows
