Hello World,

Due to our pace of growth, our platform ended up with thousands of communities created by you, our dear users. While we are still appreciative of every community effort, we decided we need to be able to better assist and publicize them. To assist with this effort, we now have two community team positions available:

  • The Community Engagement Team: This team will work with community moderators and find ways to increase their engagement, provide them with easy access to logo and banner options, and communicate with you better to assure transparency as needed. Team capacity: 6 new members expected
  • The Community Management Team: This team will be responsible of making sure communities have active moderators, assuring compliance in Lemmy.World communities, and keeping track of community moderation logs in order to assure they are moderated in good health. Team capacity: 6 new members expected

Both of these teams will be working closely with the admin team, and are expected to become ways for our users to have enhanced control of their instance. Let’s build something great together!

      Yeah it happens, I remember getting banned from r/offmychest for making a comment in /watchredditdie. Lots of live examples from Reddit on what not to do.

      Same here. I got banned from leaving a comment questioning an antivax subreddit that another subreddit used an autoban bot to monitor. There was no attempt to take context into consideration. This type of moderation behavior should be unacceptable.
