Lefty Memes
Hiii there~ fellow revolutionary socialists! Ik, I have been putting this off for faaaar too long, but have finally got myself to open up mod applications! Since the inception of this batch of communities, I haven't rly had the capacity to proactively moderate them as I'd like to (and still don't). My instance administrators took care of most of the reports and banning a few .world libs here and there usually did the job 😛 (luckily, Dengists and other such revisionists have thus far not rly invaded these communities as they did with Hexbear). Thus, I'd like to request ***your*** help in taking over moderation and have come up with a vetting process to hand off virtually all day-to-day operations. ### The "batch of communities" I keep referring to: - [!actualcommunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/actualcommunism) - [!actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/actualsocialism) - [!actualcommunism101@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/actualcommunism101) - [!actualsocialism101@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/actualsocialism101) - [!leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/leftymemes) - [!anarchismvsmarxism@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/anarchismvsmarxism) ## Here are some criteria/expectations: #### You MUST: - be at least fluent in English (not proficient, doesn't have to be your 1st language; it's technically my 3rd language lol) - be a revolutionary socialist falling into the spectrum defined in the rules of the specific community - have a [Matrix account](https://joinmatrix.org/) #### You SHOULD: - be somewhat knowledgeable with revolutionary socialism and it's concepts (again, relevant to the specific community - have enough time and motivation available to reasonably and regularly check on your community(/ies) (ofc in the context of what makes sense in your timezone) - have an account that is older than 3 months, with pre-existing history #### Nice to have: - familiarity with Lemmy moderation tools - have a history of being active in the community(/ies) you'd like to mod #### entirely optional: - be willing to regularly post in/contribute to your community(/ies) ## To apply please: - send me your @matrixUsername:matrixHomeserver with a PM from the Lemmy acc with which you are applying - answer the questionnaire - subsequently contact me [over on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/@alsaaas:aria-net.org) - send me your "filled out" questionnaire that way in the following format: > 1. Question1? *your answer here* > 2. Question2 *your 2nd answer here* ... (just copy paste the questionnaire and append your answers to the questions) If I think you'd fit, I'll invite you into the Matrix space I've set up. I'd like to first pool some ppl there and then come up with a concept collectively, after which I'll give out the mod rights on Lemmy. After this initial group has been established, future applications will be overseen in the "Recruits" room of the mentioned Matrix space. ## Questionnaire: 1. Which community(/ies) would you like to help moderate? 2. Have you read the rules of said community(/ies) and do you agree to upkeep/enforce them proactively? 3. Would you want humanity to evolve past capitalism towards a stage of a class-, money- and stateless society (ie. communism)? 4. Do you think there should be a socialist world republic? 5. Would you classify the Russian Federation and the Peoples' Republic of China as imperialist? 3. What is your take on the fraternal war between Russia and Ukraine, triggered by Russian aggression? 4. What is your take on the Zionist occupation of Palestine?
Hello everyone! First of all, I'm glad to see the growth of this community. Thanks to everyone posting/commenting/voting here! The increase of subscribers as well as posts, however, warrants a clarification/addendum to the contribution rules: **Only post socialist *memes*** That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. (e.g. the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads) this will be added to the sidebar as rule 0. For more serious contributions and discussion, there is always: [!actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/actualsocialism) I also want to appeal to you to report posts/comments that you think violate the rules. This does not mean, however, that you should report contributions that you simply dislike or think are not of high enough quality. The downvote button exists for filtering like that (so please use it, as well as the upvote button when you see good contributions!).
Meme: Amphibian creature labelled "Spotify" emerging from a body of water, but being pushed back. Captions read: "Stop them! Don't let a single company rule them all. If you see a Horrid Beast monopolizing, push it back in."
Oh hey, also the same thing with environmental issues

Clinton should never have walked back the whole "basket of deplorables" angle IMO :p
