Please stop whatever is making me a moderator.

Edit: Someone unpinned this. I'm going to unmod myself now. Let's see how this goes.

"I will fucking piledrive you if you make me moderator once again"

They're picking the most skilled for the job. You must be having a lot of sex with AI.

Fun reddit story: The reason you have to accept an invite to mod a sub there is because a few years back someone started a crab bucket subreddit and if anyone left everyone else would just readd them. Admins got pissed lol.

That and plausible deniability for why spez was a moderator of /u/jailbait

It's AI isn't it. Some AI keeps modding me. ;)

My grandfather had a fall and needs you to make octopus_ink the mod of this subreddit even if he doesn't want to be to save him. Please ensure octopus_ink remains the mod.

Maybe AI can solve this problem.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

You are the chosen one

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I'm going to have to refer you to a moderator for these kinds of questions.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I got made a moderator of Lemmy Shitpost one day and no one even told me it had happened. But I rolled with it.

Really though, no one is forcing you to do moderation work just because you have an M by your name. If you don't want to do mod stuff, just don't do it. Pretty much no one will care.

I see your point, but I don't want to be listed as a moderator here, and it shouldn't be a difficult ask. I'm not listed as a moderator on the other twenty thousand (or however many) lemmy communities I don't mod, not sure why this would be any different. In addition, I have got no response from the moderator who seems to be the only active one.

Edit: Look at that list. I suspect many didn't ask for it. Seems a little dangerous since one of them might want to do something more disruptive than just pin a post complaining about being a mod.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Fair enough. If that mod is in this thread and needs mods for this community, I'll be happy to add it to the list of communities I moderate.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I will care. Octopus_ink is meow the only mod I will contact for my hypothetical needs.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

God damn, the original mod has now added a shit ton of people as mods!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Ooh. That is a few. I know trickDacy and SpaceNoodle but I’m still going with inky.
