I wish to stop being a moderator in lemmy.ml. However, I don’t know what to do with this community; the last time I asked for new mods nobody showed interest. So I’d like the help of other members of the community to decide it.
Here are a few options:
- Migrate this community. Frankly I don’t care about Reddit nowadays, but I’m still willing to mod a comm about it in another instance. So if users tell me “migrate SNOOcalypse to [instance]!”, I’ll seriously consider it.
- Recruiting new mods. If you wish to be a mod, please tell me so in this thread. I’ll check if you’d be a good mod, recruit you, step down myself, and you’re free to moderate it as you wish.
- Closing down this comm. There are a few other comms about Reddit across the Lemmy/Kbinverse, so we’d use those instead. If neither of the alternatives above is viable/feasible, this is likely what’s going to happen.
- Something else. Then please do tell me. As long as it doesn’t boil down to “negligently leave this comm active but unmoderated”, I’ll consider it.
I’m planning to step down 19/February/2024.
So, what do you think that should be done?
My vote, if I got one, would be moving it. I do think there is value in a place to watch Reddit crumble from afar, if only to point and laugh. However, if you just don’t want the burden of modding the community anymore, you need to do what’s right for you.
As for where to move it to, I follow a few communities on Kbin.social, and they seem nice.
kbin.social could be an option, and thankfully I have an account there. I’m not doing it by votes but by the overall “feel” of the community.
Note that I’m happy moderating a community about Reddit (even if myself don’t give a damn about it any more), as long as people retrieve some value from it, and I can do so from a good instance.
