MODERATORS
 

Hey everyone,

The Fedihosting Foundation is looking for a new site-admin for Lemmy.World, to help our busy team. This moderator will help with reviewing and acting on reports, weighing in on user content, and helping foster our local communities while acting as a friendly neighbor to other fediverse instances.

You also DO NOT need to have an account on one of our FHF services but WILL have to create an account after joining. Users from other sites WELCOME!

Benefits:

  • You'll get to work with a great team of passionate kind, goofy individuals from all over the (lemmy) world!
  • We have weekly virtual hangouts where we brainstorm new ideas and catch up with each other. Community for us is not just a buzzword.
  • We can also provide work and personal references, as we are a registered legal non-profit.
  • While not a technical role, you will also gain exposure to best-in-class industry tooling and processes for large-scale hosted applications (aka modern DevOps).
  • We also run a small blog, that we'd love to have folks contribute to.
  • Join in on the editorial voice for our featured communities.
  • We also understand this is a hobby and that family and work come first
    • If you're having a hard time finding time or are busy, we will always do our best to help and support you.

Applicants should have the following qualities:

  • Experience moderating a diverse group of individuals from many geographic, religious, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds.
  • Able to commit to at least 5-10 hours a week.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and communication.
  • Solid background in conflict resolution.
  • Must be able to speak English.
  • Works well asynchronously with remote teams.
  • Grammar skills optional πŸ˜›

Bonus skills (which you will learn if you don't already)

  • SQL / Business Intelligence software skills.
  • N8N workflow automation
  • Web Design (Hugo + GitHub Pages).
  • Python scripting

Application process:

  • It goes without saying that we will only be considering applicants with a significant positive history of online posts and/or comments, no trolls, please.
  • Applicants must be okay with sitting for a video interview and must pass a basic background check.
  • While not strictly required, a CV with relevant work and volunteer history will help during the application process.
  • We are an international team that works from both North America EST time (-4) and Europe CEST (+2), so we would ask that candidates be flexible with their availability.

Please apply HERE https://forms.gle/epTdTy9Xh9kNFKsQA

I probably check all the boxes. Currently a cyber security engineer have worked in infrastructure for the last twenty years and currently head up the compliance team of the cyber division of the company I work for, I focused mainly on NIST, CMMC, and SOC II compliance. I’ve modded a few forums and discord servers over the last 20 or so years. There is no way in hell I’m dropping private info on a random google doc that’s open to the public. If there is a more secure way send my info send me a message.

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 44 points 4 months ago

The Google form results go only to the management team of our parent non-profit, no one else sees the responses. If you feel that this is not secure enough, you can send a secure PGP email to our security disclosure address. We DO provide it for folks that need more security.

Currently have CyberSecurity degree. I'm finding it difficult to get a job in the field without relevant experience of having a job in the field. How can I get experience to get the job that requires experience?

[–] rekorse@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Apply for those jobs as if they didnt ask for prior experience. Simple trick.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol I have been and so far, have only been auto-denied

"We thank you for applying for our position of $position, unfortunately we have decided to move forward with other applicants at this time. We will keep your application on file for $applicationDuration days. If you see another position that interests you, please apply again!

Thank you, $companyName"

Think smaller? Company-wise that is.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I'll give it a go! Another issue I'm facing is that I alredy make more money than what I think smaller companies would offer. I would love to change my career because I'm so tired of this track.

[–] rekorse@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Well maybe theres other ways you can make up the difference. Smaller companies might be in lower cost of living areas. even if working from home it can be nice to live near work. I'm not too sure how all this remote work stuff has changed hiring though.

[–] wccrawford@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I 100% agree with your point about security and private information, but you are way over qualified for this "job". ;)

It's kind of weird to ask someone to have all that mod experience and then expect them to just post their private information publicly, though. Surely if they have enough experience they'll already know what a bad idea it is to publicly post people's information, and it'll be hard to get them to apply.

It reminds me of a past job recognizing that I have a lot of cashier experience, but then not being able to understand why I refuse to share a till with anyone else. Duh, because I've been through that pain before and any smart office will want to avoid it, too.
