also we still need mods that's still a thing
such is the nature of moldy monday
With the constant growth of our mod team and the demanding nature of actually having lives outside of niche internet communities, Ada and I have come to the decision that the mod team once again needs to expand.
Applications work the same way they did the last two mod calls:
Post a brief write-up on yourself and why you think we should give you moderator status, as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.) If you don't want your alts to be public, you can send them as a private DM to me. Applications don't have a fixed close date, but we're looking for at least four new mods in multiple time zones.
I will be personally selecting all new additions to the mod team. Please be civil, and good luck!
Oh I didn't make this LOL. Sorry for the confusion
tyyyy
Ok but none of this is slavery. I wouldn't even call it indentured servitude. There's a million miles between things sucking and being literally enslaved
...slavery????
Sorry about the discourse. A bunch of people made new accounts just to get into these fights and spread anti-voting bullshit. Wonder why all of the people causing this weren't long-time members 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I had one of those, but after a few years of estrogen my hair is light enough I just leave it be now.
Okay I mean this is marginally better, at least you're voting, but still until some sort of change happens a vote third party is a vote thrown away
With some of the rhetoric I was seeing I felt like it was my responsibility to say something.
Literally
611
196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
We now have a shared mod email for you to send complaints, issues, praise, ideas, mod applications, really anything to. All of the 196 mods have access to this.
be sure to add it to your moldposts titles
be sure to caption moldposts with "moldy Monday"
be sure to caption your moldy posts moldy Monday :)) sorry for not posting this the last few Monday's I forgot
Poll verdict:
all AI generated content is now banned.
moldy memes will now be kept to moldy Monday. on moldy Monday moldy memes are encouraged. on every other day they will be removed. bonus points if minions are somehow involved. you also receive bonus points if your image has two or more filters/watermarks, and is under one megabyte large
Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.
The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.
moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account. I'm talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.
I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don't think we should be feeding it.
please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.
