Hey all,

As discussed here, I am looking for 3 new moderators to help with this community.

Please review this post and vote for the candidate you would like to see help on this community.

In no particular order, the candidates are:

I invite you to review users post history when deciding on voting.

This thread will be open for 72 hours (until Friday June 23rd, 8PM ET) at which point voting will stop. Any votes after this time will not be counted. I will try to lock this thread after that time so people do not accidentally continue voting.

Everyone gets 1 vote, including the users being considered. The top 3 will be given mod powers of this community to help with organization of discussions and votes.

Please vote by calling the persons name. For example, if I you wanted to vote for TheDude you would reply with: TheDude

    Naturally a controversial selection.

    My post history is quite extensive and varied. I recommend you sort by Top. Unfortunately, my account has been mass downvoted, so do be aware.

    As for experience:

    • I used to be a moderator on /r/watchpeopledie for Reddit, roughly 150k members before it got banned. Seeing gratuitous content and horrible psychotic comments isn’t anything new to me.

    • I also worked alongside /r/AgainstHateSubreddits during my time on WPD, particularly on dealing with /r/CringeAnarchy, which I assisted in shutting down.

    • I’ve had active accounts and was well-known on all reddit alternatives. Voat, Said.it, Ruqqus, Drama, Tilde and now Lemmy (which is the best thus far). So I’m very familiar with the sort of development that communities need to grow and the typical shortcomings that occur in these types of communities. One of which, like all things, is a lack of diversity.

    • I went to College for Journalism and worked for my local area’s newspaper. Meaning experience with documentation, information and quality control.

    • Currently, I’m in Law, working my way up the Lawyer Ladder (hopefully). So I naturally follow the rules and will moderate fairly. I’m also a professional writer.

    I’m from Australia, meaning my time zone is most likely the opposite of yours. I think this is a plus, as it means there won’t be any downtime in the community where no moderators are on duty; think of it as the night shift. From what I’ve seen of the other candidates, it seems like most are from the same location.

    Politically? I’m an environmentalist. I don’t really use the left-right political spectrum as being Australian – it doesn’t really apply, meaning you can ensure my moderation will be unbiased and fair, which is required for communities such as these.

    As you can probably see from my profile, I’m the most active of the candidates.

    I also come equipped with knowledge~~~

    Simply downvoting or upvoting doesn’t affect the vote. It’s purely on a comment basis, though I’m unsure if replies to existing comments count.

    Please ask me any questions you have!
