I suppose I should probably throw my hat in the ring, but I will admit I have absolutely no mod experience. I've found it pretty easy to be active in this community and have been interested in putting together some weekly stickied threads (e.g. freetalk friday, mentalhealth monday, etc).
I don’t want you to feel obligated but if that’s a yes then
+1
for bringing tons of interesting material as well as making an effort to get users involved.
Sure, I'll volunteer, though I don't know if one can mod cross-federation?
In any event, I admin an instance, https://lib.lgbt, so I feel like I have some pretty good moderation and admin experience. Also some Discords and stuff like that.
I like the idea of men's liberation and think a community dedicated to that pretty cool. I think it's important to moderate it properly because, as I've said in other threads here, men's liberation can sometimes entail a negation of femininity or embracing toxic masculinity. It's important to keep the community away from that and I feel I'd help in that regard.
Please note that even if you have no moderation experience, we can run you through the basics of how to moderate a community on Lemmy. Don't let a lack of experience stop you from applying!
@Spaduf (on their other account) and @Veraticus have been made mods of the community.
This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.
