WE NEED MODS: IF YOU WANT IT, COME GET IT
WE NEED MODS: IF YOU WANT IT, COME GET IT
With the constant growth of our mod team and the demanding nature of actually having lives outside of niche internet communities, Ada and I have come to the decision that the mod team once again needs to expand.
Applications work the same way they did the last two mod calls:
Post a brief write-up on yourself and why you think we should give you moderator status, as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.) If you don't want your alts to be public, you can send them as a private DM to me. Applications don't have a fixed close date, but we're looking for at least four new mods in multiple time zones.
I will be personally selecting all new additions to the mod team. Please be civil, and good luck!
What a swell guy, approved!
Hello! I would also like to join and help out at 196. My main Account on World got banned from a Troll-Mod for being "nice to trans People and rude to Transphobes", I hope this speaks in my favor? I really like 196. It has such a chill vibe and fantastic people! I live in Germany, and I'm active in politics (VOLT).
I hate when people just come in a spam bullshit and harass people. This is such an Immature behavior and just annoying af. I do my best to report them as fast a possible but I would like to do more! If I can help in some way I'm here :D
My Mastodon: https://troet.cafe/@Roflmasterbigpimp
It's all in German, tho. But translators will do the Job, I guess :P
You're hired! Sending you the discord link now. Once you join, I'll appoint you to mod
Yaayyy thank you :D

I don't want to be a mod, but respect to those who do it out of wanting to help their communities.
as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.)
People who deleted them all:
For the extremely rare case of someone who somehow doesn't have ANY other social media, I'm sure we can work something out.
If I can stop random floods of dick pics by drunks, I'm down. Also, let's make this a public application, shall we?
My social media handle is common between Lemmy and Reddit, so no hiding there. I was a mod of /r/Chameleons for a while, as well as some other subs. Needless to say, reptile owners are a unique breed and have even delt with just about every type of human.(My account on Reddit is stale and I quit /r/Chameleons during the third-party app exodus. My main function was to shut down user-user conflict and coordinate with other mods during brigading events, which were more common on reptile subs than you would think.)
I am very active on Lemmy and I'll use an alt for any modding stuffs, specific to the community and instance. (I am mostly instance agnostic, but for my daily driving I use lemmy.ca and haven't had a need to use any other one yet. lemmy.world was annoying, so I moved my "main" account after a short trial.)
Also, I like long walks on sandy beaches just before sunset. That puts my formal modding hours between 11PM and 6AM UTC but I do check Lemmy throughout the day.
Unless its an active troll pushing state funded propaganda, I can roll with just about anything within the laws of the land. Modding 196 could be fun, but I'll just resign the position myself if it doesn't work. No hard feelings.
[OMG UR HIRED / wut?] -- Circle one choice.
Seems good to me! I'll send you an invite to our discord and appoint you to moderator status here as soon as you join.
Did you gain the ability to rotate your eyes independently
Yes. My eyeballs rolled back so much modding that sub I think I broke something permanently.
I had to deal with this psychopath several times..[NSFL, if you are animal abuse sensitive]: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7665431/Vegan-activist-admits-gave-pet-chameleon-exfoliating-coconut-BODY-WASH.html
The bitch finally got her ass arrested in Moscow for similar shit, actually. Something about giving her pet calf a walk ...
Any 196 mods, new or old that are on Matrix, please let me know. We have a matrix mod bot that will help deal with spam attacks that we can set you up with.
Why did someone just get unbanned to be appointed as a mod?
apparently they got banned by a troll mod and said so in a comment here, I dont get how they could make a comment while banned tho x3 or maybe they talked to the mods in private and then made a comment here
Is it ok that I'm in my 80s and a little senile? How about if I was very senile?
sounds like you meet all the prerequisites for a moderator
Maybe Congress or the presidency is more your speed, then..
Are you being serious or not..?
It's hard to be serious in 196.
Works for the presidents of the USA I guess
I'm interested, but I worry I might not consistently have enough uptime. What would be the expectations, kinda?
Basically just help out when you have the time. If you're really interested, just write up an application as a reply to this post/comment
Take into account the time it has taken me to respond, and the fact that I have absolutely zero prior experience, but if you do still need anything little extra, I'd love to help.
My timezone is utc+3 (summer time), and if you do still want help, tell me so I dm you my socials.
Otherwise, stay strong, and keep keeping this place cool!
I have no life outside of Lemmy. I'm obviously the best choice.
Note that Lemmy DM's aren't that private. I'm not really into sharing other accounts in general but if you don't get any bites let me know.
I didn't even know lemmy had DM's
It has but admins can potentially see them.
Oh well. Private enough to send a hyperlink imo
Hi, I'd like to help out with moderation. I'm currently also moderating !videos@lemmy.world, !netherlands@lemmy.world and a few others. I am 1 hour ahead of UTC and active throughout the day. I've been on mastodon since 2019, but I'm not that active there. I prefer the way Reddit/Lemmy works. I still have an account on Reddit and an alt on lemmy.blahaj.zone (@qaz@lemmy.blahaj.zone), but I rarely use them.
So, I would like to keep 196 free of harassment and people called Thulean.
Yes hello I'm located in the EST zone and spend an unhealthy amount of time on 196.
I already run c/montreal on Lemmy.ca, so I'm familiar with the tools.
This poor actress that took this stupid AI-written role. She’ll forever be a meme because she was tricked and clearly miserable.i feel like we should replace her face with the assholes who funded and put this piece of shit on.
Hi, if you still need more mods I would gladly help out!
I primarily reside in the MST/MDT timezone, and spend a pretty good amount of time browsing here and the general fediverse (https://blahaj.land/@ty), so I would be able to give it my all when required. Unfortunately I don't post much myself mainly due to a lack of creativity and just because most of the memes I have are from c/196 itself, though I really love the community that has developed here
As for existing experience, I moderate/admin a (at present) 131626 member discord server surrounding a Minecraft mod (I can give you the invite and/or my username if you want), so I have experience dealing with people and helping resolve issues as fast as I can when needed. I have been doing staff-related roles in that server since December 1st 2020, so I am not very new to moderating online spaces :)
i am willing to team up agianst lemmyshitposts
If you need someone to help in the central time zone, I can. I've modded a fairly large discord server where I had to deal with all kinds of unfathomably deranged content that I won't describe here.
I feel confident I could mod judiciously here and follow your style of modding, but I also have a history with some people here, so they might not feel comfortable with me modding, and I totally understand if that's a problem.
My tumblr is in my profile. It's a fairly new account, but I've been on tumblr since maybe a year before dashcon, but that old account got banned for reasons I have honestly never been able to determine. I can share my signal or discord via DM, if you'd prefer that instead.
Hi, I'm BST (GMT+1) and would like to take part. I have pretty good moderation experience, I'm Community Manager at Nucleoid, and have been moderating Minecraft servers on and off since 2019. I am also a moderator of the Alternative Nation community as well as CD collectors!
Another social link: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@mounderfod
Would love to apply but I already got my hands full with being the only mod in like 6 Communitys atm heh...
Totally fine. No need to overwork yourself lol
Hello! I'm not qualified for the position of internet moderator 🥰
But I hope y'all find some good peeps. This is an important little space for me, and good moderation is crucial to maintaining that :3
What does a moderator actually do?
Not much, apparently.
Hello I'd love to help out the community, I am currently a mod on !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I also have experience modding back on Reddit as well.
I'm down, but I will do absolutely nothing
Ok! If you really mean that write an application anyway. Any help is good help!
I wish you the best.
Feel like this might be an April fools joke (on future mods).
? How so
I'm just kidding. Also saw that it was posted yesterday so it's my bad lol
I dont have any social media accounts more active than this one, but if you still need any more help I keep odd hours and am always available to remove obviously suspect comments. if you can see my reports and comments, thats about all I have as credentials go.
wrenchmonkey@spore.social was my mastodon, if thats even still up.
okay, team up agianst lemmyshitposts?
?what
HE SAID: OK, TEAM UP AGIANST LEMMYSHITPOSTS?
(i do not condone or endorse said suggestion. only healthy and productive behavior is encouraged on this community. do not participate in lemmy brigading if you are between the ages of 0 and 165. brigading may cause herpes, aids, anal leakage and hair loss. moderators of 196 are not designed to diagnose or treat or provide care for anything. please talk to your medical care provider if you have additional questions.)
How many characters would I be moderating? I believe in structured moderation, where I am only required to monitor the interactions of the same 32 or so characters in this community. Moderators under this system work together by not monitoring each other's characters. So, that works out to a strict 32:1 character:mod ratio.
