Hello we are currently looking for moderators for our community, if you would like to help us out please write a short comment below explaining why you’d like to join the team to help us out. If you have any experience moderating other communities on lemmy or subreddits feel free to share that.

Also if you currently moderate !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone and also wish to moderate here please comment below with your mod account saying so. Current moderators of oneninesix will get priority if they wish to join the team here, as well as current admins of blahaj.zone if they wish to join. (Note, you must comment with your mod account to get this benefit.)

A local account on here on the pawb.social instance is lightly recommended but not required to be a mod here. You may apply with any account on any instance federated with this one.

    sure, i’d be happy to help out! i’m new here but i’ve moderated quite a few subreddits in the past. i’d love to help build and improve the community here. if you’d rather not trust someone with basically zero track record here i totally get that though! <3

    Why favour mods of the existing community? Won’t that centralise power and make it harder for this space to forge its own unique identity?

      I don’t personally think so. They are getting priority, but I will still accept other people onto the team. The main reason I’m inviting them is because this community is intended as a complementary or sibling community to the main one ǃ196@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is more general, while this one is still general but centered around a specific topic/niche. I’m not too worried about interference, or them preventing us from even though we’ll have a shared team, since it is clear our communities are similar but still different. Plus simply by virtue of being on a different instance and being mostly furry related this place already has a different and unique identity than the original one.

    Hey folks, I’m one of the current mods from the Blahaj 196 and I would love to be a part of this space! In general it’s been pretty cool getting to be a part of that 196 and see it grow, and it would be awesome to do the same here ^^

    If you wanna hmu with any questions, feel free to shoot me a DM or reach me on Matrix, @cornflake_dog:matrix.org

    I like the idea of there being multiple 196s, and I think it would be especially awesome to open up some communication between them to ensure that we can adequately moderate and maintain these awesome spaces :3

      Alright I’ve added you as a mod. I agree that we should have some communication between spaces. Maybe a dedicated room on the Matrix for the furry version of it.

        Hell yeah! I strongly recommend you make a group chat, and Matrix would be perfect for it ^^

          I was thinking they could add one to the main 196 matrix space. I’m not an admin of that space though so they would need to create a room there. Then it would be joined with the other 196 channels. Though if not I guess I could make my own furry 196 space. I like the idea of our chats being together in the same space though.
