Hi All!

Welcome to the newly created Gundam community on ani.social. I welcome all the refugees from the !gundam@possumpat.io community, whose home instance is slated to be shut down shortly.

After a meta discussion in that community, I offered my services to be a community moderator for a newly reborn Gundam community in the lemmy-verse. I am far from a Gundam expert, but I have experience moderating other communities and offered to help out. As a standing offer, I welcome others to reach out if they want to moderate this community that are more knowledgeable in the area.

Happy posting!

    What does moderating entail?

      For a community this small, not that much is needed really. The main thing would be to keep an eye out for reports of spam, abuse, or off-topic stuff. That happens really rarely though, even in a community as large as !anime@ani.social, I only get ~5-10 reports a month. All the other stuff I do like weekly discussion posts, keeping up the wiki, or babysitting rikka are extra stuff that wouldn’t really be needed for this community unless you felt the urge to do so.

      If you wanted to give it a shot, I can appoint you and stay on myself so you can trial it out 😉

        Sounds good. When do we start?

    @MelodiusFunk@slrpnk.net I went ahead and spun this community up ahead of the shutdown of possumpat on the 20th. Let me know if you ever change your mind about modding 😉. I know there is the world community, but I thought it might be better to have a community with an active mod if you are needing to move communities anyway.
