Hello mateys, do you want to help steer the ship? Well you’re in luck, mod applications for /c/piracy are now open.

After seeing an obviously spam post hanging in the comm frontpage for hours yesterday with a dozen reports for it up, I realize we might need more people to react to it around here.

The job is not very demanding really. We don’t get a lot of things violating the rules around here. Just some obvious spam mostly. Expected effort is probably as low as a couple of hours per week. Basically being able to keep an eye for possible reports while you’re active through your day. So let us know if you can lend a hand.

  • Must be willing to enforce instance rules as well.
  • Being very active in /c/piracy will be a big a plus, as that will allow you to notice and respond to problem posts, even before they’re reported.
  • Knowledgeable about pirate culture and tech a plus.
  • Bonus if you’re an anarchist as that vibes with our instance’s culture, but not strictly necessary.

Looking for 1-2 mods. Preferrably in different timezones.

Post your application in the comments and mention the timezone you’re in.

    Rules: I only enforce what I agree with … thankfully I fully am in tune with the rules here, no hitch.

    Active: I’m mostly a lurker with the occasional comment, but I try to keep up on things. I spend a few hours a day on /all but try to focus on local db0 more attentively in general… Better vibe anyway.

    Pirate: Arrr! Does knowing what 1200 baud feels like help? DOS and Amiga Cracktro is my bread and butter! As to the tech, I run all my own services except Lemmy… Y’all do it better. Been working pro in tech, especially hypervisor and Linux stuff, since early 90s.

    Bonus: human knowledge belongs to the world … You are free to do anything that doesn’t explicitly harm others. If peace isn’t an option, I can bartend well enough to mix some cocktails to help solve things.

    I’m CST , -6 as it were.

    Cheers!

    Hey there!

    I’ve been active on dbzer0 for almost a year now, and I really enjoy this instance and the Lemmyverse as a whole. I specifically chose it, after I saw that lemmy.world banned piracy communities. I’m in the UTC+1/2 time zone, depending on daylight saving time, but I mostly work from home, so I’m available throughout the day. Having worked in both system administration and software engineering, I have quite a technical background. In my free time I passively engage with free and open source software projects (I participate in discussions on issue trackers, social media and in chat rooms, and try to promote FOSS projects, but I don’t contribute as much directly). I’m an anarchist, and I’ve been following the piracy movement since the early days of TPB, since I’m very passionate about about digital rights, and open access to information. I am deeply convinced that greedy corporations should hold control over knowledge and culture.
    I always report spam content/trolling whenever I see it, both here on Lemmy and on Mastodon.
    Let me know if I could help out.

    Yup, I can do that.

    • Being very active in /c/piracy will be a big a plus, as that will allow you to notice and respond to problem posts, even before they’re reported.

    I’m probably not as active as I’d like to be but mostly because my Lemmy is set up to look at all.

    • Knowledgeable about pirate culture and tech a plus.

    I’m not sure what you mean about pirate culture but I’m in tech.

    • Bonus if you’re an anarchist as that vibes with our instance’s culture, but not strictly necessary.

    I’m not an anarchist but share many similar views. If that’s going to be an issue, I understand.

    I’m on the US east Coast. UTC-5 right now.

    Ahoy Cap’n! I would like to contribute to /c/piracy as a mod. I’m on Lemmy daily and have been a pirate since Nero CD burner. I am definitely an anarchist. I know a bit of tech but I’m no developer.
