I think all the people that are going to leave have left. I don’t see that many people griping about anything anymore. (I browse /r/all and I mod a couple of local subreddits, but otherwise don’t participate much anymore)
I used to be a mod of default subreddits, “my guy”. I’m also the ‘father’ of /r/nottheonion - it was abandoned years ago and I did a reddit request and got it and built it up to 20k subs, brought on a team of mods, and when we were around 200k subs, decided to step away as my vision conflicted with the rest of the mods, and I thought they were doing a good job, so I stepped down.
I used to hang out with the reddit admins in IRC back in the day.
So compared to that, “my guy”, my participation is minimal.
I’m giving Lemmi another try recently, not sure I’m committed yet, and I wouldn’t want to volunteer until then. If I’m still here in a couple of weeks, though, it means my brain has decided to stick around. :) I do like it here, it was just that reddit’s endless /r/all kept me going back last time I tried Lemmy.
Well, let me ask: My goal as moderator has always been to facilitate the community’s desires on how it should work, so I’m not worried about fitting in on that side of things, but how does Lemmy (or your particular instance) feel about the balance between “free speech” and hate speech / bigotry? I ask because I certainly haven’t noticed any bigotry around, which is nice, but that’s what I’m most interested in as a mod: Seeking out spam, off-topic, and bigotry and eliminating that; stepping in when people make personal attacks on each other to shut that down; but otherwise letting the community decide what content they want.

If you are a mod, then that’s the most kind of participating my guy

In the court of public opinion, I guess more people on here agree with me.
Would love for your mod experience to come over here!
There’s a lot of growth and community organization we need at Lemmy!

I think they were questioning your “otherwise don’t participate much” comment.
What did you think they were saying?
Seems like you responded to the wrong person
