Hello!

Unfortunately, the previous moderator of c/europe has deleted their account a while ago, leaving c/europe largely unmoderated. We are now looking for someone to take over as moderator for this community.

As c/europe is one of the largest and most active communities on feddit.de, we would like to finde someone who is interested in ensuring that it is properly moderated. If you are interested in taking on this role, please let us know! The purpose of this role is to oversee discussions and prevent the spread of spam and misinformation (though I can assure you that the users in this community are generally polite). You can count on receiving support in resolving reports from the instance admins too, so you are not left alone with this task.

Ideally we are looking for users that are already active in this community, have a calm mind and follow “European values”.

If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or send a direct message.

Finally, we would like to thank the previous moderator of this community, albert180, for your efforts and wish you all the best!

EDIT: @poVoq@slrpnk.net will take over the role of lead mod, please respond to their comment if you are interested in supporting them.

    As someone who has repeatatly asked for moderation rights on the Europe community on lemmy.ml due to blatant misinformation posted there all the time (by someone closely affiliated with the Lemmy devs, so I gave up on that community), I guess I’ll have to step up here. But it would be nice to have a team of moderators 😊

      Great! We’re happy to take your help. If you don’t mind, I’ll leave it up to you to decide who you want to appoint as more mods?

        I’m sorry to say but this person is unfit to mod c/Europe and has been deleting posts quite arbitrarily. Can you please do a fresh mod call? If you don’t find anyone else I can volunteer my time in the interim.

        Don’t take it personal, but you don’t have a history of posting in Europe related communities and your home instance is from Malaysia (which is a fine country but definitely not in Europe).

          On the other hand, can be useful to have a moderator in a totally different time zone to the rest of the team.

          Lack of history seems more relevant, though not as much as a candidate’s personality.

          I’m currently a permanent resident in Norway, but no worries. I don’t have any particular desire to mod, just offering to help if needed.

          I agree mods should be from Europe since they would most likely know more about the topics being discussed, quickly browsing through your history, you also never posted on Europe related communities.

            I posted a lot in the lemmy.ml europe community in the past.

            But yes, I am from the EU, currently living in Portugal, but that isn’t my nationality.

        Do you have an alternative Lemmy account somewhere? This one is a bit unused and quite new.

    All my support and help for whoever accepts the position, for my part I do not see myself prepared to moderate a community in English that is not my mother tongue and it is already quite difficult for me to participate.

    I can help you too. I was moderator on many subs on reddit. Never did it on lemmy, but I‘ll learn fast
