Hello World,

Due to our pace of growth, our platform ended up with thousands of communities created by you, our dear users. While we are still appreciative of every community effort, we decided we need to be able to better assist and publicize them. To assist with this effort, we now have two community team positions available:

  • The Community Engagement Team: This team will work with community moderators and find ways to increase their engagement, provide them with easy access to logo and banner options, and communicate with you better to assure transparency as needed. Team capacity: 6 new members expected
  • The Community Management Team: This team will be responsible of making sure communities have active moderators, assuring compliance in Lemmy.World communities, and keeping track of community moderation logs in order to assure they are moderated in good health. Team capacity: 6 new members expected

Both of these teams will be working closely with the admin team, and are expected to become ways for our users to have enhanced control of their instance. Let’s build something great together!

    Yo! I was the one that banned you. I have looked at the Modlog, and I still feel like it’s justified. Your ban is only temporary, and meant more as a warning to refrain from using personal attacks. Know that you are very welcome to post, if you follow the rules of the community.

    If you have any questions, let me know (:

      Oh! I appreciate the response. Seemed to come from nowhere. I was engaging with an obvious troll and just saying “no u” to his attacking of me. I didn’t think it was so treacherous.

        Yea no problem. There was one comment where you called them stupid (and one where you implied the same), and you did the same to someone else a two months ago (we look at the modlog for that stuff). The culmination of that leaded to a temp ban. That’s our standard policy. We suggest reporting and not engaging with obvious trolls (;

        We also don’t like that a ban isn’t made clear to the one that was banned, but that seems like something lemmy itself has to fix.

        Edit: I also unbanned you, because it seems like a genuine mistake.

          Oh I thought I was calling their comments stupid. Like they were unaware of how they were trolling everyone. I hear you. I will watch for it. I appreciate the response.

          I don’t know why, but this whole interaction made me feel nice and tingly inside and I wanted to point out how civil and nice everyone has been :) (mostly xD)
