I noticed that “Ask Lemmy” only has 4 moderators.
That’s a single mod per 12k~ subscribers.
Or a single mod per 250~ users daily.
@14specks hasn’t made a post and comment in 2 years.
@tmpod@lemmy.pt hasn’t in 4 months.
@Cloak in a year.
@mekhos in 3 years.
Where are the mods?
I don’t think “mods per user” is that important of a metric. “Mods per daily/weekly/monthly post/comment” is a more useful gauge of a community’s activity.
We’re on our own, just dont be a dick and we’ll be fine.
Put your hands over your eyes
Jump out of the plane
There is no pilot
You are not alone
StandbyIf this community had active moderators, then your post might have been deleted, because it breaks community rule #3. But since almost no one reports breaking that rule, we admins seldom catch it.
Mods are asleep, post fake Richard Scarry cars.
Hey, haven’t used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there’s a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.
Your wording implies you have other accounts?
Yeah this isn’t my main account
How can you afford two Lemmy accounts?
Why?
I didn’t want a mod tag next to all of my posts, and Lemmy doesn’t let you disable it.
I feel like the instance mods don’t get everything-
Though I do browse the community often and would love to help, but I don’t know if you’re capable of making that decision, or if anyone else is or willing.
Something else worth noting is that instance admins do a lot more moderation than Reddit admins did, so the burden on the moderators for individual communities can be smaller. lemmy.ml in particular has a reputation for having admins who actively intervene a lot.
Shhh you are ruining it. We had a good thing going here.
I KILLED THEM
Mods were made of cheese, username checks out
Instance admins can also perform moderation actions, and lemmy.ml is known for being on the heavier side for that.
