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 [email protected] : https://feddit.org/post/2421485

@[email protected] 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?

By the way, which instance would you like to host it on?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Might as well be lemm.ee.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actually I just remember lemmy.zip could be nice too

@[email protected] would you like to mod too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for asking, but memes are not my thing. Though, I can add a mention to the community in [email protected] sidebar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Alright, we'll keep you posted

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm all about the memes, so feel free to use dbzer0

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thanks for offering! Do you know mods on your instance who would be interested in modding this community with us?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Also bear in mind that Admins also get reports and can step in to help out - dbzero has half a dozen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Ah no I don't have anyone specific in mind. But they don't have to be from my instance anyway. Personally I find that at the start of a comm, there's not much moderation needed anyway

sure I'm down🤗

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good to know, thanks! 2 more mods to go 😄

[–] recursive_recursion 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

even if we don't find additional mods at this exact moment lemmy know if you still want to create the community as I'm sure we'll find willing mods in the near future🌻

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm on the cautious side on this one, seeing the cat vegan foot debate is still getting comments a week after, I expect the potential of reports for memes talking about such dramas to be quite high 😅

[–] recursive_recursion 1 points 1 week ago

honestly that's totally fair👍

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I think that's an exception. It'll mostly be beans.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I already mod too much, but someone please tell me as soon as this is a thing so I can sub and post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

We'll keep you posted!
