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

    In another thread you say people who live in the extremes need to be shown diverging opinions so they don’t stay in their echo chamber and radicalize (one of the justifications of your opposition to defederating instances), then you turn around and go on a sub for one such group and just join in the movement…

    How is that supposed to make people think you’re mod material and not just a troll?

      I do believe extremists need to be shown differing opinions, yes. I think everyone should see opinions they don’t agree with.

      My comments in that community are that though, pointing doubt at their conspiracy theories.

      I mean, how more obvious should I be making the satire? I thought it’d be too on the nose making a post saying God Save The Queen
