This should help us cut down on the trolls. We recommend other instances do the same, because they will likely be targeted also.
I apologize for all their gore-posts as well, no one should have to see that. We’ll try to look for more admins from different time-zones as well to get them faster.
The two other possibilities we have currently as options, are turning on required email verification, and as a last resort, closing signups. I personally would rather not do either, but they are options.
Many thanks to @k_o_t@lemmy.ml and @AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml for banning those trolls.
This is just my opinion:
Must haves:
A history of quality activity on Lemmy.ml or another instance we federate with, such as amicable discussion, links to reputable web resources, etc.
Frequently online. I’d say at least once a day is ideal, but I also understand that you’re a volunteer, and will reasonably have other things going on where you might be missing for several days or otherwise intermittent at times.
An interest in helping to develop the Lemmy community and ecosystem.
No recent violation of instance rules or Lemmy project code of conduct.
Nice to have but optional:
History of reporting rule breaking content, particularly spam.
Has provided inputs on Lemmy development or the the direction the Lemmy community is going.
Already a moderator of a community, or an admin on another instance (we will use your moderation history to assess your application).
Activity on the Lemmy Matrix rooms (please Link your Matrix).
Activity on the Lemmy project GitHub or other source control site that Lemmy is on, either as a code contributor or making/discussing pull requests (please Link your GitHub/other source control website).
It would also help to specify your time zone and the languages you know.
Must haves:
Optional:
Timezone: one less than Nutomic’s one
Languages: Spanish and English (not native, B1 certified)
I’ve forwarded your application to the admin Matrix room, thanks!
Thanks to you too.
