Can we make it a site wide policy to NOT have supermods?
I've already identified a couple of users who are accumulating mod positions like MTG cards, and some are the most toxic and intentionally astringent users who are constantly involved in all the drama.
100%
This was the downfall of reddit for me, and I fear that it's playing out again here ๐
How would you deal with one person with multiple accounts? I don't know how youd deal with the round about way of being a supermod
I agree with this opinion. at least put more well respected people of the @lemmy.world community in charge could have a vote on it as well that way everyone has a say in the final outcome
Can't second this enough
Maybe a cap on the number of communities you can be a mod in.
you should clarify if these are volunteer positions or paid, and what level of hours/commitment are expected as such.
This is a volunteer platform, and as such no one is paid. Applicants may include their availability info and be considered accordingly.
You think people are paid to do this?
How many hours a week would you expect a member to contribute?
If someone's primary account is on another instance, can they still help out?
ex. I have a lemmy.world account for cross instance moderation, but I don't really have to use most of the time
Since it's more focused on Lemmy World communities it would make sense to have some affinity with the instance so a local account would be preferred.
Makes sense :)
Ages ago on reddit I got banned from r/justiceserved for merely commenting on r/conservative this was on a post about tianmemen square they had a autobot set up which'll automatically check wherever someone subscribes comments or posts prehaps it'll be worth considering maybe trying do moderation differently on lemmy to reddit is
Same here. I got banned from leaving a comment questioning an antivax subreddit that another subreddit used an autoban bot to monitor. There was no attempt to take context into consideration. This type of moderation behavior should be unacceptable.
Nice
I usually tell reporters to down-vote and scroll. Not clear how downvote effects lists but I only remove obvious spam or off topic. Created a few communities when this place was a ghost-town and 2 days later the reddit hordes arrived. smh. No way I'm screening every post now. up/down votes should count for something. Currently if someone reports a post, I check up/down votes to see what community thinks. Maybe give an option to sort by up votes. Or maybe there is already a way. Volunteer mods only have to ask and have a profile history. I'm old and don't need this shit.
