At this time, they have no mods. I use to moderate over on Reddit. But have moved here. I just made a new community on a different server that I moderate also.

    I get your frustration. But we found an issue if you look at the thread here. In my eyes and server there were no mods. But in fact there is. More or less I was trying to help because of no mods. I don’t mind helping if you need it. If not remove me.

      Mods on Lemmy don’t have permissions to remove other mods. You need to demod yourself, or an admin needs to remove you.

      I think it would be totally reasonable to make a post and ask the active members there what they think about you becoming a mod. We’ve been having conversations there on what we want the community to be, and I’ve been trying to empower everyone to give input. So, suddenly seeing a new mod with no community input runs counter to that.

      Also, regardless of the federation issue, it is concerning that the admins did not verify that the community was abandoned, when simply clicking on my account would have quickly shown it was not.

        If this is how you’re going to act toward someone making a mistake without knowing. I would never want anyone to be a community you run. You show great disrespect towards me and your fellow mods.

          What are you talking about? I suggested you should talk to the community and if everyone is cool with it then we can make you a mod. The issue is that our autonomy was undermined due to the mistake, and it can be corrected by you demoding yourself and making a post asking the community if they are OK adding you as a mod.

      Apparently mods can remove other mods. It’s just hidden and only accessible if you click into a post the mod made.

      I encourage you to make a post in the community asking if everyone would be alright with adding you as a mod. If there are no major objections then we can add you.
