So it’s probably time to add some moderators, not necessarily because things are out of hand or anything, but because I’d like someone to actually nurture this community like I don’t have time to. I’m talking about, for example, having regular pinned conversational live update threads, forming rules, all sorts of community building elements. On a lot of these it would probably be helpful to look at how the mod team over at r/Ukraine has handled things. More specifically I’d really like to find someone Ukrainian who speaks the language to join the team, but that might be a bit much to ask at least in the short term. Either way, consider this an invitation to apply if you think you’d be a good fit and you’d like to help nurture this community and help cleaning up spam and vile conduct. You’ll need to message here in the thread since I believe Lemmy works in funny ways and you promote people through comments.

I now have 300 notifications and probably no time to read them soon.

After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I’m honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology. They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own. Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) [https://lemmy.world/post/694810?scrollToComments=true]really goes to show that they’re in it for the right reasons.
