Kia ora!
What’s the plans for moderation on this instance? I guess there’s probably going to be a bit of a flood from the NZ-oriented subreddits and this seems like a smart landing place for them.
Lemmy.ml apparently has owners with weird political beliefs, and this is putting a bunch of people off. Is there going to be a set of rules/CoC for this instance?
Also, servers cost money. Any plans for adding a way for users to support the server?
Thanks for setting it up!
I think probably you are going to want to do a thread specifically for mod applications? I’d be willing to zap obvious spam scams and illegal things like csam on a when and as encountered basis but I don’t really have the time or the mental bandwidth to commit to full discussion based modding, especially where the discussions might be time sensitive. Also I think probably we’re both active in the same time zone while you’ll probably want at least one ideally two people who can prevent mods are sleeping scenarios.
Yes, I think we are new enough it’s difficult to approach people so I will do a mod application thread. I’ll pick some people willing to try a discussion-based approach, and willing to join a mod matrix room to discuss things. Plus some others for obvious spam/illegal content removal, especially for covering other time zones.
