4. Educate don’t attack
No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.
If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.

Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.
It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.

I'm not even sure if I will get any applications at all lol
Nobody wants to work anymore >:(
The sub has only 2200 subscribers so I won't be surprised if I won't get even ONE application lol. If I don't get a good moderation team for this sub in 1-2 weeks then I will just abandon the sub while giving it away to someone random because my decision to start it while not being ready for leading it was terrible.
Hey, this is a sub that had to be moved over here, so I appreciate you taking the initiative to do that. Hopefully somebody signs up in to do so. It is a lot of free work. I'm guessing they'd need an account on this instance to mod this community?
You only need an account on this instance to create the community. From this point on I can apply whoever I want as a mod, no matter the instance as long it federates with us.
I'm maybe not the best person to apply as I'm not a worker in the system, but maybe I can help out till someone worthier comes along. I came from ~facebook~ 😳 to reddit to Lemmy, gradually got fed up with corporate Social Media and I have been looking for some spot to become active and involved. I used to spend a lot of time on r/antiwork and thought about how to transfer more of this vibe from the internet to the real world, as I live in a country where workers are very submissive and lack information. My own work as a freelancer is comfy and leaves me with some time to get regularly very angry about what people have to put up with in the workforce. However, I have never been in the workforce, know very little about work laws, unionizing or other such things - and even though I do have some time, I also have other real life responsibilities so I will not be able to dive in 24/7 and just study all that. As a moderator I also welcome to have the occasion to learn more about the back end functions (I usually find my way around this stuff quickly). I might want to host my own instance at some point but have come to realize there is more to it than I had initially figured. I guess there will be some shifting around on Lemmy in terms of communities, moderators, instances - but I guess one needs to start somewhere for this place to come alive.
Your mod position has been removed because of your inactivity.
Very sorry about that. I nuked my website and email and I'm still busy with recovery. Can't help after all.
It's alright.
Hi, I still didn't get the response to the private message that I sent you.
