Moderating

Hey, relax. You don't need to disband your community either. It is not winner takes it all. It is just about these 1000 people in this community wantig to keep it alive or not.

Your community is unique as it is related to your website. Also crossposting should benefit both of the communities well enough. There is no need to vanish and/or merge at any cost.

Since this topic isn't about me or me being a moderator, don't invest into that perspective.

I'm not eager to moderate, but I see a potential for this community and even both communities to exist.

The outcome of this vote will dicdate further steps.

It is fine. It’s the second community I inherited (the other one is stale, though).

But thanks to the kindness of your last message, I’ll survive.

I also DMed him if he needs help organizing stuff. I expected a lovely message with hearts and roses ❤️🌹, instead I got MOD...

Hi, I'm the wrong person to ask. I got MOD by accident and am willing to give this community a new spin. There are some few people who are against two communities. But to be clear, I'm in favor for this community to stay and am on your page.

There is no such thing as an official community for this movement, if you want to call it that way.

Didn't know that. Loving the fediverse idea, I went with https://bookwyrm.social/ to track and discuss my reading progress.

Locking this post as something along that topic will come up today.

I'm on your page.

Genau. Aber wer Hauptadmin wird, wird noch ausbaldowert, wenn die Community bestehen bleibt.

Wollt ich vermeiden, weil ich mir dann noch einen zweiten Matrixaccount zulegen muss. Überlege mir bis heute Abend, ob das den Aufriss wert ist 🙂

There is a similar community on feddit.uk, which has more traffic and moderators.

Some of their users are advocating to basically merge both communities, and by merging they mean abandoning this one.

We’ll sort that out in a relaxed manner and see where the path leads. All the 980ish users here should at least have a say on that topic.

Got it.

I‘ll sort something out.

Well having a team of mods, maybe some coming from feddit.org, would circumvent the need of everybody being on your instance. I wouldn't want to setup an additional matrix account for moderation and I don't want to sahre my personal one :-)

Currently I'm waiting to get into !main@feddit.org . I need to ask if there are any rules, hindering me doing mod. Bascially I need to know if I should move my account to your instance.

Wäre kein Problem, aber halt auch irgendwie schräg :-)

Okay. Thanks for sharing.

I would have waited for about one day and planned next steps.

It'll be along the line that people should kind of vote on the /c/buyFromEU and /c/buyeuropean matter. We need to know where we are heading. If this community should persist, I would search for a team of moderators and put up a preliminary post with rules. Something including to be nice and excellent to each other.

Will do this maybe this evening.

Kay. Didn't know that. I used google product search, which should be avoided, too 😂

Actually I had it the other way around. The item on amazon was like 25€ and on Galaxus 19€+3€ shipping, so basically the same.

In case of other products it was super helpful to have a product/shopping search going (like idealo) to find the lowest bidder.

But in sum I find the product search on amazon more convinient: I start there just to search different shops for the found product 😈.

Same.

Already reached out to them anf told them not being ready and aware of #buyFromEU could be a missed chance.

Then feel free to contact server admins after lets say... 14 days of mods inactivity. The account is quite new, and fresh community creators tend to be over ambitious before realizing what moderation means (I inherited a stale community 😂).

Righty right.
