/m/politics is basically unmoderated, and the trolls and other ne’er-do-wells are starting to find it. I’m not even particularly interested in following it, but that’s one topic that you don’t want to leave unmoderated. It’s a troll magnet for obvious reasons, and that starts to affect the rest of the instance (and the fediverse) if there isn’t anyone enforcing some sort of decorum.

@ernest I know you’re ridiculously busy right now, but could you find a moment to appoint someone to recruit a mod team for /m/politics? I’d be willing to do the recruiting if you don’t have any better candidates, but I wouldn’t want to remain on as a moderator after that’s done.

Alternatively does anyone here actively want the job?

      You could ask the mods to let you be mod, but the two communities are as separate as two different subreddits, even if they share the same name

      not how it works. your status on beehaw means nothing here on kbin. kbin’s magazines are not the same thing as beehaw’s communities.

      As an individual you can potentially moderate both, but you don’t automatically get granted that privilege.
