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"

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

Eh, they were for years and would have been receiving mod queue right?

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.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

Maybe AI can solve this problem.

You are the chosen one

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

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

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.

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 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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