Would some people be interested in moderating a fediversememes community? (feddit.org)

Following up on this post: https://feddit.org/post/2379333/1762691

An list of potential memes: https://feddit.org/post/2379333/1722394

A meme posted to !fediverselore@lemmy.ca : https://feddit.org/post/2421485

@Emperor@feddit.uk already expressed interest.

For me, there are a few pros and cons.

Pros:

  • Memes are an easy way to convey a message
  • Fediverse-specific content is always nice

Cons

  • Memes communities tend to be very popular
  • Due to the topic of the community, there might be some heated debates and discussions in the comments (the example above with the vegan cat food is a good example). That might be quite time-consuming to follow and moderate

Based on this, I think we would need probably at least 5 mods to make sure the community stays sufficiently moderated.

Are any of you interested?

I'm all about the memes, so feel free to use dbzer0

Thanks for offering! Do you know mods on your instance who would be interested in modding this community with us?

Ah no I don't have anyone specific in mind. But they don't have to be from my instance anyway. Personally I find that at the start of a comm, there's not much moderation needed anyway

Also bear in mind that Admins also get reports and can step in to help out - dbzero has half a dozen.
