Hey everyone,
The Fedihosting Foundation is looking for a new site-admin for Lemmy.World, to help our busy team. This moderator will help with reviewing and acting on reports, weighing in on user content, and helping foster our local communities while acting as a friendly neighbor to other fediverse instances.
You also DO NOT need to have an account on one of our FHF services but WILL have to create an account after joining. Users from other sites WELCOME!
Benefits:
- You’ll get to work with a great team of passionate kind, goofy individuals from all over the (lemmy) world!
- We have weekly virtual hangouts where we brainstorm new ideas and catch up with each other. Community for us is not just a buzzword.
- We can also provide work and personal references, as we are a registered legal non-profit.
- While not a technical role, you will also gain exposure to best-in-class industry tooling and processes for large-scale hosted applications (aka modern DevOps).
- We also run a small blog, that we’d love to have folks contribute to.
- Join in on the editorial voice for our featured communities.
- We also understand this is a hobby and that family and work come first
- If you’re having a hard time finding time or are busy, we will always do our best to help and support you.
Applicants should have the following qualities:
- Experience moderating a diverse group of individuals from many geographic, religious, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds.
- Able to commit to at least 5-10 hours a week.
- Excellent interpersonal skills and communication.
- Solid background in conflict resolution.
- Must be able to speak English.
- Works well asynchronously with remote teams.
- Grammar skills optional 😛
Bonus skills (which you will learn if you don’t already)
- SQL / Business Intelligence software skills.
- N8N workflow automation
- Web Design (Hugo + GitHub Pages).
- Python scripting
Application process:
- It goes without saying that we will only be considering applicants with a significant positive history of online posts and/or comments, no trolls, please.
- Applicants must be okay with sitting for a video interview and must pass a basic background check.
- While not strictly required, a CV with relevant work and volunteer history will help during the application process.
- We are an international team that works from both North America EST time (-4) and Europe CEST (+2), so we would ask that candidates be flexible with their availability.

You forgot to tag FlyingSquid?
Wah? Huh? Me? Admin? I don’t know anything about web design or legal compliance or social media marketing or anything. I’m flattered though, thanks.
Fuck all that. It’s not needed.
They need someone with strong reading comprehension, who can consistently reason their way from an ideology to the specific situation, then write professionally. Mods work the collective que of reports independently.
If you don’t want the gig no one one is owed an explanation. But, please don’t judge yourself underqualified for the wrong reasons.
Well apparently I’m not positive or productive, so I guess I’m not qualified after all.
LOL, someone accused me of being “hostile” when I politely disagreed with them. There are some wonderful folks on lemmy…but like any place on the internet, quite a few weirdos.
When I said to consider yourself, you asked me to consider another’s opinion of you that you disagree with.
If you can dish it out then you’ll see right though such bullshit when it regularly pops up in the mod que ;)
Sorry, it’s been a long day.
Right now my landlord isn’t owning a gigantic series of mistakes. You made my day by owning a very small one.
I think this is much more positive and productive than what the other conversation became.
If the long day has been online, I suggest talking to someone about any subject IRL, in person or on the phone. A little human stuff puts all this digital bullshit right back into perspective for me.
I wish I had a person to talk to in person or on the phone, but unfortunately I don’t. The closest I have is personal friends I can talk to via social media (none of them live in this shitty town). My wife is out with a friend tonight, so the best I could do would be the 14-year-old child that I still allow to live here (although sometimes I wonder why). I have a feeling she’ll want to talk about modern slang again since that’s been what she’s wanted to talk about today and I just can’t take having her read to me more from the big list of 2024 slang she found me. I tried to talk to her about 1940s jive slang to get her on a different but related subject. Didn’t work.
I feel like the only “real” relationship I have is with my wife. Friends I think are close distance themselves if I begin a conversation with something personal and nuanced enough to be meaningful and engaging.
We both felt like this for quite awhile. And, we soon reasoned that we were about the perfect people in the perfect situation to answer: Where does a collectivist sense community still exist? The answer appears incredibly simple: Forty to sixty minutes from the closest Walmart.
In twenty five years you’ll be thanking her because you know what the fuck the news just said. But, today, I can only imagine the torture.
I just read through the linked conversation. I’m sorry, but it’s been clearly decided by groupthink that you are not allowed to learn anything or form new opinions. I hope you understand their decision and its effective permanence on your growth.
I knew I was doing Lemmy wrong. Thanks.
Good dude.
You are welcome!..I think, hahaha
