Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Looking for New Moderators (self.ottawa)

Hello All!

Thank you for using the Ottawa sublemmy. There has been a significant growth in users recently and I would like to recruit some new moderators for the community.

I would also like to have a francophone be a member of the mod team.

Please reply if you're interested, will then reach out over DMs.

Edit:

What the role will be:

  • Minimal commitment
  • Be present on the forum
  • Remove content that doesn't abide be rules set for the sublemmy

So far, the community is running well without much intervention, I suspect more eyes will be needed as new people come in.

Also, having a francophone would allow the same policy be upheld for both official languages.

I'm around and willing to help. Like the other person, I'm curious what's involved.

I edited the post to list what I'm looking for.

I think the bare minimum would be going through the forum on a regular basis and primarily remove content not related to Ottawa.

I've made my account and the sublemmy almost at the beginning of lemmy.ca and have a tendency of going awol from internet forums for months. So would like to have mods who plan to be here regularly.

That sounds like something I can do. I've never been a mod before but I'm happy to jump in if you're still looking for help.

Awesome! I'll DM you.
