Your friends need you. They always need you. They never stop. They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you. You will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done.

I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I'd lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also joins those communites. So all you have to do is download, enter your credentials and you're done.

So it's probably time to add some moderators, not necessarily because things are out of hand or anything, but because I'd like someone to actually nurture this community like I don't have time to. I'm talking about, for example, having regular pinned conversational live update threads, forming rules, all sorts of community building elements. On a lot of these it would probably be helpful to look at how the mod team over at r/Ukraine has handled things.

More specifically I'd really like to find someone Ukrainian who speaks the language to join the team, but that might be a bit much to ask at least in the short term.

Either way, consider this an invitation to apply if you think you'd be a good fit and you'd like to help nurture this community and help cleaning up spam and vile conduct. You'll need to message here in the thread since I believe Lemmy works in funny ways and you promote people through comments.

I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
