/m/politics has no moderators other than ernest
cacheson@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 58 points – /m/politics is basically unmoderated, and the trolls and other ne'er-do-wells are starting to find it. I'm not even particularly interested in following it, but that's one topic that you don't want to leave unmoderated. It's a troll magnet for obvious reasons, and that starts to affect the rest of the instance (and the fediverse) if there isn't anyone enforcing some sort of decorum.
@ernest I know you're ridiculously busy right now, but could you find a moment to appoint someone to recruit a mod team for /m/politics? I'd be willing to do the recruiting if you don't have any better candidates, but I wouldn't want to remain on as a moderator after that's done.
Alternatively does anyone here actively want the job?

I've never been a mod before but wouldn't mind giving it a shot on mag. I am positive politics is not the one to start on tho
I'm in the same boat, but I wonder if you can mod on a casual basis, because I'm just not spend 3 hours a day modding material, maybe a half hour here or there tops 😋
That's my thinking as well. A place with a couple other mods.
Oh gods, are you sure you want to do this then? It's going to be one of the most intense mod roles you'll ever do. It'll really be a trial by fire, sink or swim thing.
