Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

A comm to post the cutest pics/videos/links/stories you can find, and that’s pretty much it. Could be pets, wild animals, people, happy stories, etc. It will be a designated positive space and positivity/kindness will be continuously enforced in order to keep it that way. I would be happy to mod it and add anyone else who is qualified and interested. Ultimate goal of the comm is to provide balance to the negative stuff we’re used to seeing and put content on the front page that can brighten someone’s day.

Coupe Utility Vehicle is too good of a line to just let it die in an obscure forum

Are you open to submitting a mod application either via hexbear direct message or matrix

Application

What is your Hexbear username?

Do you have any preferred pronouns?

What are your thoughts on capitalism?

What are your thoughts on imperialism?

What are your thoughts on trans rights?

What are your thoughts on racial justice?

What do think about current and previous protests around the world?

What are your thoughts on Veganism and Animal Liberation?

Do you have any experience with other leftist online communities?

What did those experiences teach you?

What is your approach to moderation, and how do you work with teams?

How do you deal with online drama and people who try to start things for the sake of it?

What current comms would you be interested in moderating?

Do you have any ideas for community engagement?

What is your general time availability? (Time zone, amounts, common browsing times, etc)

Element informationElement is a messaging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.

To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser.

The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:

Press "Create Account"

We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change matrix.org to chapo.chat.

This is completely optional; users who sign up with a matrix.org username can still talk to people with chapo.chat username.

(Note: It is chapo.chat, not hexbear.net. Also, registrations aren't always open on chapo.chat; if they're not, just create an account on matrix.org)

Fill in a username and password

Hit register, and you're done!

I had a question about that and I DM’d and sent a message on matrix. Thanks in advance!

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

I think you could too doggirl-happy

I'm writing a comment in support o7

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Thanks for your support!!!!!

Sadly they won't do fun names with the c/ because it doesn't show up properly everywhere so it would just appear as "ute"

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Well, we’ll just have to call it /c/cute then! Either way, it’s gonna be the cutest damn comm the entire fediverse.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Which is even funnier because then Australian folks get real confused when they go to post a truck and just see animals

how is this different from !bloomer@hexbear.net? could see about getting added to moderation team there

A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

I imagine /c/cute or /c/ute being much more visual (pics and videos) and specifically focused on cute things. Stories wouldn’t be disallowed, but they’d have to be cute specifically. Example of the potential difference:

Bloomer story: “Organizer overcomes challenges to form local Starbucks workers union”

Cute story: “Baby sloth celebrates first birthday with watermelon party”

That’s kind of a silly example, but I hope the difference is clear. Bloomer focuses on positive real life stuff that lifts people’s spirits. Cute would primarily be cute pics, videos, etc. that make people happy. They’d both share the goal of positivity, but they’d go about it in a completely different way.

EDIT: Thinking about it more this morning, I think I’d want to also promote /c/bloomer and /c/pets as sister comms since they have a similar vibe.
