This galactic community keeps growing, and even though the fear of the Empire seems to keep everyone in check, it would probably still be nice to have a Jedi Council to keep an eye on things too.
In other words, the applications for mods are open. I’ve messaged a few people here over the weeks but nobody had the time. (If I messaged you before and you changed your mind, let me know.)
I’m not joking with the Jedi Council thing either. I don’t want tyranny of mods that can’t be touched. I’m looking for people who are willing to step into a discussion and resolve conflicts if any ever arise. Removal of comments or bans are not tools I like to use, unless it’s something stupid like selling death sticks or hiring a bounty hunter.
Great news is, our citizens are all as chill as Han in carbonite, so being a guardian of peace is actually the easiest job ever. Still gotta be on a lookout for the dark side though. You never know if we won’t get invaded by some unknown Thread.
Also please have Matrix. Discord doesn’t work for me (what a piece of junk).
It would also be nice if you liked memes and Star Wars I guess? That’s why… We’re here.
Ed: Best hit me with a DM here or over Matrix. Not looking for experience, tho I’ll look over everyone’s profiles. Then I’ll throw everyone in a Matrix room with one lightsaber in the middle and see who survives :P
The other thing: please remember to mark sensitive content as NSFW. That includes memes that can attract lewd comments too. I personally have a high tolerance for crude stuff (traveling through the outer rim full of scum and villainy does that to a mf), but people may browse this at actual work too. Tagging something as NSFW is just a click, so no biggie, I think. Use your judgement.
(Yep, so also check if you have NSFW enabled in your profile. It’s disabled by default.)

Will those added to the Jedi Council be granted the rank of master?
This is outrageous! This is unfair!
Everyone except me is an apprentice forever.
Wouldn’t mind helping you mod here
It is… Acceptable, but don’t you have enough communities to mod already?
Less work than youd think, maybe 1-2 reports every once in a while
Put me in coach Windu.
Sit down young apprentice, do you have Matrix?
Yes. I don’t like to use Matrix much but if the council has foreseen it, my F key is ready.
Btw I’m going to bed so I’ll get back to questions/pings when I get up
Tagging something as NSFW is just a click, so no biggie
This is true, but I think Lemmy accounts default to not showing NSFW stuff, so most people browsing this Community won’t see anything tagged with it. So the mechanism for avoiding potential lewd comments, is to make sure it won’t get any comments at all.
This is one theory. The other is that the NSFW meme I posted earlier that went nowhere wasn’t as funny as I thought it was. But that seems inconceivable.
I have my account marked to not show NSFW content, but I still saw your post earlier (The one about Andorian people right?). I don’t think it was marked as NSFW?
Either way, I thought it was funny. For whatever that’s worth.
Thank you, but it was the one after that one. You wouldn’t have seen it. I know 'cos after I tagged it, I couldn’t see it either (well, not without changing my account settings, which makes Lemmy into a whole other experience.
One problem also is that mods can’t edit someone else’s post or mark it nsfw. So all we can do is delete, lock, or tell the OP to change something, and then wait and see if they will. So until these things improve, there really isn’t much else we can do than ask people to mark stuff as nsfw in advance.
Yea true, Lemmy devs and community overall are a bit too concerned with nsfw in my opinion.
I dunno what to do about that though, except maybe occasionally remind people to check if they have it disabled.
I’m down if you need help, mostly a lurker for years on reddit, Im willing to contribute to the great Lemmy migration anyway i can
I can’t tell much about you from your profile, but if you’re down, we can talk. Matrix?
I don’t mind helping you here.
We can work with a youngling, do you have Matrix?
Yeah.
I don’t mind of you need help but there are plenty of people better suited than I am
Maybe we can train you? Where do you stand with Matrix?
I have a matrix server
