Kia ora!

What’s the plans for moderation on this instance? I guess there’s probably going to be a bit of a flood from the NZ-oriented subreddits and this seems like a smart landing place for them.

Lemmy.ml apparently has owners with weird political beliefs, and this is putting a bunch of people off. Is there going to be a set of rules/CoC for this instance?

Also, servers cost money. Any plans for adding a way for users to support the server?

Thanks for setting it up!

Yeah I think that's a smart approach. Have some people that can remove obvious stuff. When we start to feel further action is needed, we can start to assemble a group to help with grey areas. I think when I get a chance I'll create a post for expressions of interest to help, both for site-wide and community specific.

Don't be afraid to invite people if based upon their observed behaviour you think they'll be a good fit.

In my mind it sort of falls in the camp of if you want the job then that's a potential sign you're not best suited!

Totally! But it's hard to judge in such a new community.

I think I'll make a post explaining the approach I want to take, and ask for people willing to do this. Plus people willing to do basic cleansing of obvious stuff. Then make a list, start with a hand-selected subset, and make changes over time as needed.

I suspect the approach to address unfriendly content with discussion will probably put off a lot of power-hungry people :)
