As mentioned in the post (https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5205977) discussing a rule about anti-promotion of drugs and other substances:

If a lot of people oppose this rule, either by downvotes and/or number of comments, I will willingly step down as moderator of this community.

I didn't see a large opposition to this rule which has now been deleted (see https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5220158), but I will pass the moderator position back to the instance admins nevertheless, specifically to @GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml who gave me the position when I requested it months ago. This post can be used to select new moderators by leaving a comment if you're interested. I will also take part in applying to become a mod.

Can I be mod?

Also, I want you as mod.

I've transferred the community to GrainEater and left the mod team, I will now apply for mod again.

Here are some reasons why I want to be mod:

  • I'm Chinese, I was born in China, raised in Singapore, studied for a while in Canada, returned to China.
  • I like fact checking, but that doesn't mean I'm always right or the authoritative source on China.
  • I have some experience with being a moderator.

Here are some reasons why I might not be suitable for mod:

  • I am not a neutral or impartial third party and will never be one, I side with China not just because of my nationality, but also because I believe China is truly developing Marxism or scientific socialism.
  • While I like fact checking, I didn't apply it rigorously to every post/comment in /c/China or on China-related posts/comments on Lemmygrad. There are times when I see questionable statements and let it slide because it's too troublesome to fact check it properly. Sometimes it's because the content is posted on websites not accessible in China and I don't use a VPN (unlike others), and alternative front-ends like Invidious (for YouTube) or those for X/Twitter or Reddit may not be working properly. (News sites are fine because of archive services.)

I see no reason why you should not be the mod here

@GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml A community mod can't appoint an admin as community mod apparently, so I have to ask you to do so yourself.

[-] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

I can't appoint myself as mod either, I'll have to ask another admin

[-] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

I wish that you continue being a mod. From my side, as a lurker, I am very satisfied with the content and moderation. Hope you stay.
