Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

As the title says. I am willing to moderate it if need be, but I suppose there is better comrades out there for that job.

edit: also if 'eugene' style memes can get banned there for being """tankie adjacent""" we need a piracy comm on Hexbear.

edit: i'm going to actually add [email protected] 's comment here:

It's a weird pair of things to put together. People call open source libre specifically because they want to emphasize that it's free as in the freedom to control what the software on your own computer does, rather than free as in you don't pay for it (gratis). Pirating is only free in the gratis sense, not the libre one.

Free software is a vision of a non-capitalist mode of production for software* while piracy is about reclaiming stuff that was still produced under a fully capitalist system. Putting them together is like making a shared comm for cooperatives and dumpster diving.

This is a perfect articulation of the way i feel about this.
