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'd be willing to help, but I'd like to know you're logic for such a niche community needing 5 mods? I can't imagine such a community would get more traffic than, say, !yurimemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I wouldn't call that community under-moderated.

Thank you!

Better safe than sorry to be honest, it might be niche but it might have a wide audience due to the topic.

Seems like you have a feddit.uk account, so that might be where we host it.

@recursive_recursion@programming.dev would you be okay to open a feddit.uk alt to mod? Reports don't federate properly at the moment

yup can do!
thank you for the update🤗

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool, I'll open the community tomorrow if I find some time

[–] recursive_recursion@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

fair enough🤗

Here we go! !fedimemes@feddit.uk

Please comment on the first post with a feddit.uk account so I can appoint you as a mod

done
thanks for the heads up!
