Welcome all to Mildly Infuriating! I’m aware many of us are reddit refugees. Lemmy.world seems to be the best instance that complies with my morals and principles.

I want to help grow this instance. I’m bloody passionate! That said I always want to share that passion and branch out to other communities and encourage a healthy environment.

I would like to recruit moderators, but the moderation is not limited to just mildly infuriating. I have other projects in mind and those are as follows:

LemmyShitpost - For nonsense memes, shitposting and dumb stuff. Made a goofy meme/shitpost? Post it here.

LemmyBeWholesome - for wholesome memes, cute pictures, nice comments. Post those here.

Lemmy Review - For mocking reviews, bad listings, q&as, basically anything and everything related to the wacky world of e-shopping. (not to be confused with Etsy Sellers, which appears to be a more serious community.)

…

With that said. I have rules for moderation and those are as follows:

1. Uphold the rules in compliance with Lemmy.World.
2. Ensure that all moderators comply with the rules, corruption, censorship of content and intent to censor content for personal gain will be against the rules of this community.

I have witnessed the following on reddit and I want to discourage such behaviour as it’s bad practice and a detriment to the community.

• Removing/deleting posts from users as a moderator and reposting them.

• Banning/Removing users due to a personal beef when the user has not been in breach of community rules.

• Removing/Hiding opnions from other users that disagree with practices/actions made by the community in question. Opinions should be encouraged and listened too.

• Using information provided by users on the platform to blackmail, harass or engage in unsavoury practices.

• Allowing users special privildges in exchange for favours/currency or friendships. …

If you are not disuaded by anything written above. Then you can send me a dm with information on why you would like to join the communities.

…

If you are not interested in becoming a moderator but would like to branch out your community to this one then feel free to post your community below this message.

I am aware I am a human so I may not get it right, but I am open to listening/learning as the fediverse expands over time.

Welcome all new fediverse users! Thanks for taking your time to read this post and thanks for joining the mildly infuriating community in the ongoing fight against social media enshitification!
