Moderation + support on this instance (self.support)

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!

I'd like to see how we go. When an issue (or potential issue) arises, either start the discussion yourself, or report it with a description of your concern. If we find the approach isn't working, we can adjust then. But before then I'd like to build up a team of moderators happy to use the discussion approach, and then as a team we can decide if more rules are necessary.

I think probably you are going to want to do a thread specifically for mod applications? I'd be willing to zap obvious spam scams and illegal things like csam on a when and as encountered basis but I don't really have the time or the mental bandwidth to commit to full discussion based modding, especially where the discussions might be time sensitive. Also I think probably we're both active in the same time zone while you'll probably want at least one ideally two people who can prevent mods are sleeping scenarios.

Yes, I think we are new enough it's difficult to approach people so I will do a mod application thread. I'll pick some people willing to try a discussion-based approach, and willing to join a mod matrix room to discuss things. Plus some others for obvious spam/illegal content removal, especially for covering other time zones.
