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.

    I’d love to help out. Some fax: I’m not very active in c/piracy but that can be changed, would enforce rules, knowledgeable about pirate culture … I had a very snazzy demonoid account back in the day, so sure, why not. To the last point, goes without saying. CET.

    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.

    It might be a good idea to sort out the mods you already have given how some of them are open neo-Nazis. Can’t say many people want to co-mod with people like that.

            Not OP, but I have come across a few, not many, alt right users from the dbzero instance. Not enough to remember their names, but enough to know they definitely exist.

            Though I will keep an open eye for them now.

              The instanceapplication isn’t very rigorous, so obviously it’s not impossible. We try too give some leeway since we don’t expect everyone here to be an anarchist of course, but that’s a far cry from a “neonazi” . If you come across any egregious examples just let us know.

                Will do. It was one of those moments where I said, “I can’t believe I’m on the same instance as this guy.”

                I don’t give them any space in my brain so I usually down vote them and move on. But I’ll bring it to your attention if I see them from now on.

    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.

    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!

        I was just fucking around generating images with Gemini right now, and this reminded me of what you probably need in regards to a mod 🙈

        The hell is the problem with generating these things to some peeps? Stealing from, artists?

    Hello, I would like to apply as well.

    Not very active, but looking to be more active in the community, as well as installing local NAS for some more professional pirating of my own.

    I am quite often in the app so dealing with reports shouldn’t be a problem.

    Anarchist, still researching and figuring out my exact philosophy.

    Additionally I am from Europe so maybe that will help with coverage from timezones pov.

    I can follow rules, though that’s not very pirate like!

    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.

    Just joined the instance but I’m the only mod for Xbox on .World. I’ll be activate, but not every hour kinda active.

    Knowledgeable about pirate culture and tech a plus.

    I know enough of each to get me by.

    I’m on Eastern Time.
