Thank you for helping to make this place so special!
I have extensive experience in moderation and as a (now former) admin so can I pls :3
::: spoiler My Answers
- This is my hexbear acc :3
- I often use any but she/her is generally more preferred
- It represents something that must be destroyed
- It is the highest stage of capitalism (and the direct consequence of reaction)
- Lovely place when the Zionist entity isn't actively destroying it, ive been there personally. There is a special place in my heart for the workers of Palestine.
- They are human rights :3
- There is no workers liberation without racial liberation
- Most protest movements are spontaneous and often lack a materialist analysis, often doing little more than sapping the worker of revolutionary energy. Protest can be used to organize a mass workers movement but it rarely is.
- I strongly sympathize with veganism however due to reasons outside my current control I am unable to become vegan myself, it is a goal tho
- I regularly engage with this community and also leftist communities on discord and YouTube
- It taught me that when talking to other genuine leftists if you interact in a genuine way thats not hostile they generally wont be hostile (which is a lesson some people in a unspecified community should learn from)
- I work generally quite well in teams, I usually tend to listen to other people even if it harms me personally
- Generally I work with other people and push for them to get banned, I find that drama is best stopped early
- Politics and chat, ideally anything political but im open to anything :3
- Ive deeply considered making a new community and I really want to, I just dont know what to make it about
- I generally just interact naturally and find that people tend to engage with natural content
- I am in the US (EST) and available at generally random times but atm most of the day and some of the night :3 (I should have a better sleep schedule but I don't) :::
I think the mod position should be involuntary. Drop it on a random user
You are being drafted to mod the chapotraphouse comm @ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml
Noooo, I wanted to be the village idiot
Combat volunteerism
Wait, has the bear always had an eye patch?

Yea I can drive the mods, I just need a little gas money
Are we there yet?

SHOTGUN!
I should be made admin, I would spray nazis with my skunk powers and then sic the hexed bears on them. 🦨
Also if anyone wants to create a community you may comment or DM me your mod application responses as well as the community details.
We need a /c/thesimpsons comm since yesterday.
Hello I'd be interested in reviving and moderating https://hexbear.net/c/mathematics
