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

    The problem is that if all content is sarcastic then you start having members that truly believe what’s posted and the whole community starts going down the shitter.

    By the way, mods on Reddit have seniority, a new mod can’t boot mods that were there before them, that means the other mods were perfectly ok with T_D becoming what it became.

      I think The_Donald on sh.it is already down the shitter lol, have you seen their modlog?

      But yeah, I’m pretty sure the Sub creator booted everyone, gave Cis the position and then deleted their account. Unfortunately due to the blackout and T_D being banned, I can’t reverify this.

        But you’re admitting to helping make the situation worse and you want to be a mod here?

            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
