    I’ll take one for the team, bang through some privileges and I’ll start moderating the shit out of this community.

    No pooping, beans and stroganoff for everyone!

    Just out of curiosity, what’s the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?

      Federation shenanigans would be my guess. If you were on instance B and moderating instance A then instance B admins would have control of your account instead of instance A admins. So if for some reason instance B admins decide to ban that user then they are prevented from moderating for instance A.

      there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.

      but don’t take my word for it, i don’t have a source.

      Its a good idea to have communities moderated by local users, in case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.

    I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.

    I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.

    Overall I’m not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I’ll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.
