I consider all applicants. You're already on the list as you'd replied already :)
Yes, I am an admin here on Lemmy.World, and this is about the Lemmy.World community.
One thing I'm hoping to discuss with new mod(s) is making it more clear to the community here that Lemmy.World has nothing to do (outside of this community) with perchance, as we receive occasional support requests regarding the perchance site, which of course we have nothing to do with. :)
We're glad to have this community here, mind!
This post violates the Lemmy.World ToS. Please review: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Very carefully :)
I have added you as mod here. Do feel free to remove this post, or leave it if you want to see if others might volunteer to mod with you - as you wish. :)
Thank you for volunteering!
I did end up going with the other volunteer, but it sounds like that might appreciate a helpinf hand - would you mind if I appointed you underneath them to help mod here?
Sorry for the delay, my inbox is overflowing right now. d'oh!
Would you like me to add the other volunteer from this thread? I'm glad to do so. Typically a single mod is sufficient for most communities, however it never hurts to have more than one, for sure. :)
I'd be happy to add them if you'd like :)
NOTE: @eatham@aussie.zone will be staying on as mod, but we're hoping to get 1-2 or so more volunteers to help process reports in a timely manner :)
Do not use ableist slurs on Lemmy.World.

Nope, the community has no moderator.
However, admins have access to reports. And if it's on Lemmy.World, I have started looking for such communities using a tool I wrote, which I hope will also make it easier for admins to monitor which subs aren't handling reports in a timely manner.
We have some others who have already put time and effort into working on monitoring that sort of thing, but I'm hoping to improve our response times.
We are generally seeking volunteers to moderator - who will handle reports hopefully daily, but definitely almost-daily. It requires occasionally dealing with folks being nasty, making sure posts and comments do fit the rules of the community as well as the instance Terms of Service. It's not a lot of work, but most people don't want to do it (which is fine).
Even if a lemming doesn't wish to moderatoe, however, honest and legitimate reports of rule-breaking posts and comments are appreciated. It's how we can eliminate the bad things from Lemmy.
https://mony.world/ exists, hosted by us, if you want to play with it. (I wasn't involved in the setup, so can't answer much about it)
As someone not fond of Discord, it seems pretty decent and pretty Discord-like.
