Out of curiosity, will you be able to weed out bad faith volunteers? I am sure there are a variety of interests that would be more than willing to pay a junior admin to be a Lemmy Sysop and itβs not like the candidate will volunteer that information.
I think they'll be fine, the form asks for a CV + video call + lemmy user name and optional github profile.
I'd be surprised if a bad faith candidate got through that. A probation period could work here, where their access is a bit restricted at first
Hum, I hate to be that guy, but the good (experienced) bad actors have multiple profiles curated exactly for this reason. There's a reason why companies require proof of identity and a background security check.
In one word: Fraud. Deception.
Some one who operates in bad faith seeks to gain advantage by lying to get in and cause turmoil afterward.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Someone acting in bad faith is someone doing something with ulterior, negative intentions.
This could mean joining an admin team with the goal of breaking the site. Joining a sports team with the goal of sabotaging their matches.
Without going into details to avoid giving out ideas, think the concept of script kiddies for example. Doing harm for no reason. Or with more experience doing harm for personal gain
