Hello users of Hexbear while we are always accepting moderation applications I would like to begin another formal volunteer drive.

We are particularly looking for moderators for our main "High Activity" communities:

• chapotraphouse

• news

• slop

• memes

• technology

• games

• chat

• politics

• askchapo

• badposting

• movies

Top communities for the last 1 - 6 months

https://hexbear.net/communities?listingType=Local&sort=TopSixMonths&page=1

Those of you interested in volunteering as a moderator, you may comment your answers, or send me your responses to the application questions below using either hexbear direct message or matrix message.

The answers may be as short or as long as you feel is adequate.
