Applications are now closed! Thank you to everyone who applied, we’ll be reviewing the applications this week and be in touch soon!

EDIT: Due to issues with sending DMs between Lemmy and Mastodon, if you’re on Pawb.Social submitting an application, please send it to @admin@pawb.social via https://pawb.social/create_private_message/126149 instead.

Pawb.Social services have been steadily growing more and more over the past few months, from the debacle of Twitter and the meltdown of Reddit, we’ve seen users flocking to not only our instances but those of our wider fediverse community.

Seeking Content Moderators

We’re seeking to bring on a small group of volunteer Content Moderators to help with addressing reports, identifying content that breaks the Code of Conduct, and assisting users with concerns and issues.

Please consider the following questions:
  • Are you friendly, polite, and willing to be approached by users?
  • Are you willing to help users on our instances?
  • Do you have free time to commit and are you able to stick with it long term (6+ months)?
  • Do you work well with others in a team?
  • Are you willing to join a Telegram group to coordinate decisions, issue reporting, and communications with the team?
  • Have you ever had any moderation experience?
  • Which instance would you prefer to moderate? (furry.engineer, pawb.fun, pawb.social, all?)
  • Do you understand that reports you handle may result in being exposed to indecent, graphic, or otherwise rule-breaking imagery that may be disturbing?

You may (but are not required to) add additional information to your application giving us a little background on yourself, why you’re interested in joining the team, your favorite topic (Lemmy) / hashtag (Mastodon), or anything else you’d like. Not including this will not affect your application, it’s purely optional.

How to apply

If the questions haven’t scared you away and you’re still willing to assist us, you must have been a user on Pawb.Social services for at least one (1) week, have had no previous CoC violations, and have no history of recent (past few years) disruptive or abusive behavior within online communities.

If you’d like to apply from Mastodon, please send a DM to @staffapps@furry.engineer.

If you’re on Lemmy and you’d like to apply, click this link to send a DM from your Pawb.Social account: https://pawb.social/create_private_message/126149.

Timeline

Applications will remain open for two (2) weeks and will close on July 14th, at noon US Mountain Time.

We expect to review the applications the following week and reach out to all applicants with the result of their application shortly thereafter.

Thank you for being the awesome part of Pawb.Social!
