I recently spoke to the current community moderator, @kalahlora@sh.itjust.works. They have moved to a different account on another instance and are no longer active here. Would anyone like to take over as the new community mod? If so, please leave a comment in this post!
We had a very similar situation with !knitting@lemmy.world a while back and long story short I took over there and have been doing my best.
IF nobody else steps up, I’d be ok doing it here too. But I am begging the other regulars to consider volunteering instead, I have no aspirations to become some sort of crafting community powermod 😅
Or maybe two or three of us could take it on together and cover each others backs, safe in the knowledge that we’ve got timezones covered for spam incidents (which are the only kind of incidents I’ve seen in here, crafters are generally pretty un-dramatic). That way it’s not on any one person and nobody needs to stress.
Come on folks, let’s keep this place going!
I have appointed you as the new moderator. Thanks!
I agree that it would be great for others to pitch in, too. If anyone else volunteers, I am happy to give them mod rights, too. You can also do it yourself now.
Feel free to unpin or delete this post whenever you think it has been up long enough.
See kids this is why you never even begrudgingly volunteer to be the emergency backup!
(it’s fine, I’ll sort it from here, but wow I really made my own bed there didn’t I 😂)
