WE NEED MODERATORS (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey there guys! After today's fiasco, I decided that we need some moderators that aren't me or Ada. If you would like to be a moderator, please reply to this post with why you think you would be a good mod, and any previous social medias that I can check out just to make sure you're not a troll (reddit is the most useful but twitter/mastodon/whatever works too).

Well I'm glad this is happening I was just trying to reply to your previous post but it turned out it was removed in the process of me writing the comment. The short of it was that a community of almost 10k needs more than one mod, because while there are three mod accounts two are you and the third is a dead account. Please do your absolute best when deciding who to give moderation control over 196 as I don't doubt there will almost certainly be bad actors who try to get mod so they can sabotage this place, it sure wouldn't be the first time this community has been targeted.

Yeah totally. I've needed more moderators for a while now, but I've been really worried about bad actors. I know what might seem drastic to some to ask for alternate socials and shit but seriously I feel like its more than necessary at this point

To me it feels like you take this seriously and are invested in the community, which I love to see. I hope it gets easier with new helping hands and I really like this instance, thank you for your amazing work
