I’m giving Lemmi another try recently, not sure I’m committed yet, and I wouldn’t want to volunteer until then. If I’m still here in a couple of weeks, though, it means my brain has decided to stick around. :) I do like it here, it was just that reddit’s endless /r/all kept me going back last time I tried Lemmy.
Well, let me ask: My goal as moderator has always been to facilitate the community’s desires on how it should work, so I’m not worried about fitting in on that side of things, but how does Lemmy (or your particular instance) feel about the balance between “free speech” and hate speech / bigotry? I ask because I certainly haven’t noticed any bigotry around, which is nice, but that’s what I’m most interested in as a mod: Seeking out spam, off-topic, and bigotry and eliminating that; stepping in when people make personal attacks on each other to shut that down; but otherwise letting the community decide what content they want.
