      lemmy.zip

      I was hoping to get that one to become the LW alternative, but after the mod asked me to become a mod and I declined, but suggested to create a meta post to call for more mods, they told me they prefer to not have meta posts on that community.

      Well, fine, you make the rules, I guess I’ll post somewhere else.

      Note that this was also why !globalnews@lemmy.zip and !world@quokk.au never consolidated, the mods of both communities just wanted to keep theirs

        I hope you dragged them into one of your beloved drama communities for that. The nerve of some people to have a disagreement with you.

          You believe that communities shouldn’t have meta posts calling for more mods when there’s only one and that person is willing to offer someone else a mod position?

            You made it seem like they were asking people in private, i don’t really see anything wrong with that. Your new fediverse community also only has one mod btw.

              Then feel free to join them on their community.

              Your new fediverse community also only has one mod btw.

              Indeed, it’s not even 12 hours old. I just asked the mod to create a meta post to add more mods, it should be there in a few hours

                Sweet. Sounds like snoopy is being a bit more obedient towards you then 😆

                  Really ? Well on jlai.lu we try to have at least 2 mods per community. That’s not aways the case but we regulary do meta post to recruit moderators and encourage collaborative work. :)

                  For fediverse community, i will probably look around what we already do and try something different :)

                    Sorry i was throwing you under the bus there 😆 I had no idea that it was such a fauxpas to not do a meta post but ask people you trust in private if they’d be down to mod. I don’t get why that is, but that may be just me.
