Think they will accept my application?
Brb doxxing myself for an unpaid moderator job
I did in fact submit that as an application lol
You don’t understand, giving people online parking tickets is actually the pinnacle of human existence
While not strictly required, a CV with relevant work and volunteer history will help during the application process.
Lmao do they want a cover letter and references too?
Probably ask for that during the video interview
A background check?? For an unpaid mod position??
admin position, aka they probably have access to a lot more private info and are likely to be able to take the site down if they were malicious. But of course, treating it as corpo shit rather than establishing community trust over a long period of time seems… a bit silly
Even reddit understood this in its early years. They were gung ho about being pro-community and had some genuinely good staff back then who consistently communicated openly with that community. They had an open source development community and all sorts of shit. This was all built on contribution and trust. If they wanted someone, they didn’t do applications they reached out to people personally that they already knew would be good for the roles.
They are trying to mimick reddit today rather than reddit during its early life when it was doing all the right things you needed to do with the early adopter audience.
Pretty sure as long as you toss on your vintage SS uniform for the video interview you’re a lock
I didn’t know they had a foundation. Turns out they’re even renting a unit (probably just a mailbox) in a nice, modern office complex. Somehow, it nevertheless reminds me of those photos of the Something Awful offices…
What in the actual fuck
If you search up “Zinkstraat 24, 4823AD Breda” its dozens of companies listing lots of different 4+ digit unit numbers at that address. So definitely just a mailbox for their legal registration
lmao, they’re taking someone else’s platform and trying to go corperate off of owning a single instance and an app lol
What’s the app called? I had a search around and couldn’t find it and I want to reverse it for entertainment purposes. Or do you just mean how they seem to be the default instance for a bunch of apps?
I think it was called something like voyager or something and it like directed people to sign up on lemmy.world by default
Guys they’ve actually changed the process to be much simpler. To apply you need to DM me with your credit card number, expiration date, and the numbers on the back. And your name and address (important, do not forget!)
minimum 5-10 hrs a week of unpaid labor with a wide breadth of required/wanted skills including: interpreting legal documents, technical skills such as SQL for their data harvesting, web design, etc.
For the least inspiring/community oriented site on the fediverse
It will only attract feds and power trippers, and maybe not even the power trippers
Man, I wish lemmy was never introduced to these rdditors crying about their discontinued third party app. Could have just left them to wander aimlessly for a few days before they invariably go back to reddit.
Normal people: “hey people I’m in a gc with, do any of you want mod privileges?”
Lemmy world: “what is your blood type, horoscope, last 12 years of work experience and your favourite niche porn category plus can you add a reference from your current and previous boss? This is just standard information that all federated platform Content Gardners™ need to provide”
This is what happens when you overdose on Adults In The RoomTM ideology
Make me an admin. I have never moderated, but I excess often.
Give me power, I promise to wield itThis kind of application for a volunteer position is always the dumbest shit. Volunteers should always be drawn from the community as people who just want to help.
If I have to do more fucking work just to apply for this unpaid shit than my last job interview, then the only reason I’d do it is to get power I’d exploit. I’ll eat my hat if they actually get a nice and effective admin from this dumbdumb process.
Imagine the type of person who would willingly hand their personal information over to some random people on a Reddit clone, and then imagine them as admins.
Some people aren’t dear with their personal information, I personally think that’s fine.
Make me admin, I will immediately send seeseepee supersoldiers to summarily execute all western users
You have my vote
Its insanity to ask for that for a Lemmy INSTANCE! It is not even a foundation that does anything! CV, Legal Name, and an interview for an UNPAID MODERATOR POSITION! Even reddit does better for their “best of the best” moderators by at least actually giving them a paycheck. This is a joke and not a future of the fediverse
Also, consider this a
if you go against the team for any reason, they can literally doxx you. Them being the “reddit” doesn’t make that fact any better.Truly incredible-to-behold levels of Caesar complex, they really do think they’re the next Reddit. Next step is to rent an office in the middle of nowhere that’s been abandoned for the past 40 years and is on the verge of collapse and ordering nameplates from VistaPrint to further their delusions of grandeur.
