New moderator

Hi all, we have a new mod joining the team.

@FatalChessInjury@lemmy.fmhy.ml has been appointed as a mod of !newzealand, and will be starting to look at fleshing out the details of the community.

I know you’ll make them feel welcome :)

Ah yep, I see where this is going now after his post the other day. No thanks, I'll join another NZ community that isn't going to ignore bigotry in service of "free speech" 👋

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for "people from reddit", not "people who got banned from reddit". Where are you headed?

Not sure yet, still getting my head around the different server instances and who is ending up where.

I think I have similar opinions to you, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Hope to see you around in the ‘verse anyway.

I was a bit confused about this but have now discovered that the mod user is the same as the justgettingalong user (who must have forgot to switch alias in their comment in this thread).

Interesting that it appears you can have different identities tied to the same account across different instances.

Edit: My mistake, they are two separate accounts. I got confused as both accounts argued that there was nothing wrong with one nazi in the bar.

They are a mod because they applied. You did not.

Please feel free to apply for a mod position. We need all sorts of views on the team, and I've received very few applications. Be the change you want to see.

Communities are driven first by the people that join them, then who sticks around. In a setup like this, where anyone can drive by comment from any old instance, you're going to need to ban abusive people or the good users will leave. /r/newzealand had a solid set of rules and for the most part they were consistently applied.

https://god.dailydot.com/... someone linked the nazi bar story the other day, Twitter is fucked for me atm so I can't link the original. Either way, if you don't kick out the shitheads straight away then they become your userbase, and the kicking out has to come from the mods in Lemmy. Downvotes don't do anything here.
