I wish to stop being a moderator in lemmy.ml. However, I don’t know what to do with this community; the last time I asked for new mods nobody showed interest. So I’d like the help of other members of the community to decide it.
Here are a few options:
- Migrate this community. Frankly I don’t care about Reddit nowadays, but I’m still willing to mod a comm about it in another instance. So if users tell me “migrate SNOOcalypse to [instance]!”, I’ll seriously consider it.
- Recruiting new mods. If you wish to be a mod, please tell me so in this thread. I’ll check if you’d be a good mod, recruit you, step down myself, and you’re free to moderate it as you wish.
- Closing down this comm. There are a few other comms about Reddit across the Lemmy/Kbinverse, so we’d use those instead. If neither of the alternatives above is viable/feasible, this is likely what’s going to happen.
- Something else. Then please do tell me. As long as it doesn’t boil down to “negligently leave this comm active but unmoderated”, I’ll consider it.
I’m planning to step down 19/February/2024.
So, what do you think that should be done?
If you go with the first option please don’t migrate the community to Lemmy.world. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the way that instance is run but they already have reddit@lemmy.world. Plus I believe as a matter of principle that we need to stop the community consolidation on that instance and spread out for the health of the threadiverse as a whole.
Personally I’d just switch the comm to mod post only mode and let the admins deal with it if someone ends up asking to take over down the road. There are plenty of other comms I can go to if I want to gawk at Reddit’s boneheaded decisions.
