I'm an unpaid forum janitor? Nice!

only just logged in and saw the thread from yesterday, so sweet of @I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world <3

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lucky!

Congrats you guys! I know the community is in good hands ❤️

[–] little_niggle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're deffo a shout for it, a day one user if I remember correctly.

Also I remember you were saying something about developing bots once you've got the time!

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! I've never made a forum bot before so I've been reading a lot of documentation. Lemmy has some good resources. Don't want to mess up my first one 😅

I just like this community a lot and want to help whichever way I can :)

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yea, 100% Roxamir I'd get you on board if you can figure out the bots, etc.

As I mentioned yesterday, right now I've just given out the roles based on engagement needs rather than actual moderation. So decided to give it to the folks driving the daily threads.

Next set of mods will definitely be around the more technical moderation tools like bots, etc.

We're fortunate enough that right now the mods don't actually need to do moderation - partly because we're a small community, partly because we're not assholes.

Eventually when we need a full mod team, we'll probably involve the community in deciding who the mods are but I think we're still a way from there.

So if r/gunners were to maliciously comply with the Reddit overlords as a protest, would the subreddit vote to post sexy Wenger pics instead of John Oliver? 🤔

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

@EFG should consider this tbh

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah but I doubt our brethren would vote for it, "iT dOesN't CoNceRn me AnD I nEeD the kArMa fRoM mY cLickbAit transfer post! This is stupid!"

I actually think it's pretty cool the other subs are doing it, spez isn't going to do anything but at least it floods Reddit with stuff they can't actually sell to data miners.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmy turned out to be a pretty good alternative. Reddit is only going to keep getting worse.

I am actually enjoying the lack of a karma system on Lemmy and the absence of data miners too.

Yea, I think this whole fiasco has shown which mods have the balls to stand up for what they believe in and which ones crumble because they want to hold on to their little Internet power. I think Moist Critical said it best in his YouTube video - some mods folded so quickly as soon as it seemed like their subs might get taken away.

@Astrealix @MHPengwingz @EFG alternatively, sexy pictures of Hector Bellerin. There would be more variety if nothing else 😆​

(edit) copying EFG

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oooh that's a good one.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Side note but how do you actually ping people on this lol

[–] poorlydrawnarsenal@arsenalfc.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

@Astrealix I believe it’s their username followed by @ and then the instance they are on. Not going to actually tag them but I think it would be @ EFG @ Lemmy.world

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Might as well tag them then lol @EFG@EFG@lemmy.world Sexy wenger pics for the win

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yea, it's a bit janky on the apps but in desktop it auto fills it for you hence why you see inconsistent tagging.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Happy Juneteenth to anyone that celebrates, by the way

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Changed the sidebar, let me know if y'all have suggestions for what to put there! Might put the Bergkamp quote back but I wanted it to be distinct from r/gunners

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you guys ever need another mod I'd be interested.

Just saying 😅

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At this rate we're gonna have more mods than users mate I think we'll be fine, cheers tho

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well I didn't mean this instant 😂

Just in the future as the community gets bigger.

[–] afcfrimpong@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Joselu moving to Real Madrid while Benzema, current Ballon D'Or holder moves to Saudi Arabia. Football is about to be even more dominated by money lol.

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

True, although I wouldn't complain if the Saudis feel like splashing £100m on Partey
