With the constant growth of our mod team and the demanding nature of actually having lives outside of niche internet communities, Ada and I have come to the decision that the mod team once again needs to expand.
Applications work the same way they did the last two mod calls:
Post a brief write-up on yourself and why you think we should give you moderator status, as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.) If you don’t want your alts to be public, you can send them as a private DM to me. Applications don’t have a fixed close date, but we’re looking for at least four new mods in multiple time zones.
I will be personally selecting all new additions to the mod team. Please be civil, and good luck!
Any 196 mods, new or old that are on Matrix, please let me know. We have a matrix mod bot that will help deal with spam attacks that we can set you up with.

What a swell guy, approved!
Is having lives outside of a niche internet community a requirement?
Not really, but it is recommended
Don’t tell me how to live my life
Fair enough! I also like patapon btw
Hello! I would also like to join and help out at 196. My main Account on World got banned from a Troll-Mod for being “nice to trans People and rude to Transphobes”, I hope this speaks in my favor? I really like 196. It has such a chill vibe and fantastic people! I live in Germany, and I’m active in politics (VOLT).
I hate when people just come in a spam bullshit and harass people. This is such an Immature behavior and just annoying af. I do my best to report them as fast a possible but I would like to do more! If I can help in some way I’m here :D
My Mastodon: https://troet.cafe/@Roflmasterbigpimp
It’s all in German, tho. But translators will do the Job, I guess :P
You’re hired! Sending you the discord link now. Once you join, I’ll appoint you to mod
Yaayyy thank you :D

as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.)
People who deleted them all:
For the extremely rare case of someone who somehow doesn’t have ANY other social media, I’m sure we can work something out.
I don’t want to be a mod, but respect to those who do it out of wanting to help their communities.
If I can stop random floods of dick pics by drunks, I’m down. Also, let’s make this a public application, shall we?
My social media handle is common between Lemmy and Reddit, so no hiding there. I was a mod of /r/Chameleons for a while, as well as some other subs. Needless to say, reptile owners are a unique breed and have even delt with just about every type of human.(My account on Reddit is stale and I quit /r/Chameleons during the third-party app exodus. My main function was to shut down user-user conflict and coordinate with other mods during brigading events, which were more common on reptile subs than you would think.)
I am very active on Lemmy and I’ll use an alt for any modding stuffs, specific to the community and instance. (I am mostly instance agnostic, but for my daily driving I use lemmy.ca and haven’t had a need to use any other one yet. lemmy.world was annoying, so I moved my “main” account after a short trial.)
Also, I like long walks on sandy beaches just before sunset. That puts my formal modding hours between 11PM and 6AM UTC but I do check Lemmy throughout the day.
Unless its an active troll pushing state funded propaganda, I can roll with just about anything within the laws of the land. Modding 196 could be fun, but I’ll just resign the position myself if it doesn’t work. No hard feelings.
[OMG UR HIRED / wut?] – Circle one choice.
Seems good to me! I’ll send you an invite to our discord and appoint you to moderator status here as soon as you join.
Did you gain the ability to rotate your eyes independently
Yes. My eyeballs rolled back so much modding that sub I think I broke something permanently.
I had to deal with this psychopath several times…[NSFL, if you are animal abuse sensitive]: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7665431/Vegan-activist-admits-gave-pet-chameleon-exfoliating-coconut-BODY-WASH.html
The bitch finally got her ass arrested in Moscow for similar shit, actually. Something about giving her pet calf a walk …
Why did someone just get unbanned to be appointed as a mod?
apparently they got banned by a troll mod and said so in a comment here, I dont get how they could make a comment while banned tho x3 or maybe they talked to the mods in private and then made a comment here
Is it ok that I’m in my 80s and a little senile? How about if I was very senile?
sounds like you meet all the prerequisites for a moderator
Maybe Congress or the presidency is more your speed, then…
Are you being serious or not…?
It’s hard to be serious in 196.
Works for the presidents of the USA I guess
I have no life outside of Lemmy. I’m obviously the best choice.
