  • I have been following the World News live threads religiously since mid-February 2022 and I’m really looking forward to something similar here in the Fediverse.

    I don’t have a ton of modding experience but I did mod at r/Moscow for about a week in August 2022. A pro-Ukrainian Polish lad who used to live in Moscow forgot he was a mod there years ago. As it turned out, he was now the most senior mod so he banned all other mods and replaced them with pro-Ukrainian people, turning it into an anti-Putin sub. A subreddit coup, if you will. He said he aimed to use the sub as a way to lift the voices of all the Eastern Europe nations victimized by Russia over the years.

    I flaired up to let the Muscovites know an American army vet was now a Moscow mod, permitting a flood of pro-UKR memes while removing pro-RU-invasion posts and comments. Russian jimmies were thoroughly rustled.

    Reddit admins eventually received enough orc complaints to give the sub back to them. All good things must come to an end.

    Anyway, despite my dearth of modding experience I’d like to help out as a mod. Cheers from Alaska.
