Element information
Element is a messanging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.
To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser ("Launch Element Web").
The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:
- Press "Create Account"
- We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change
matrix.orgtochapo.chat. This is completely optional; users who sign up with amatrix.orgusername can still talk to people withchapo.chatusername. (Note: It ischapo.chat, nothexbear.net. Also, registrations aren't always open onchapo.chat; if they're not, just create an account onmatrix.org) - Fill in a username and password
- Hit register, and you're done!

I want to be mod of !canada@hexbear.net .
My first actions will be to remove it from hexbear and earth.

If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve.

I volunteer to mod c/main and make sure no libs post there
Paganism already has two mods and we get maybe three post a month, we're fine.
If one of us say, maybe has multiple usernames, how would we best answer the first question? Is it better to list them out, or only give the "main" nym we use?
I have considered for quite a while suggesting a c/drugs, and applying to moderate it if the idea was accepted. I realize I'm not the only one either. I am also aware of the potentially... sticky situations that might develop from a poorly-moderated, or even ill-defined drug comm. In my mind, it would be a comm specifically for harm reduction and real education on the matter, (and of course absolutely not for sourcing - something to be made clear from the get-go). But let's face it, drugs are a major part of many chapos, er, hexbearer's lives, and I think a community dedicated to the topic and coming from a compassionate, materialist perspective, could not only fit well here, but may be a real benefit to some users here.
Edit: @Marijuana420 you around?
Someone moderate !creepy@hexbear.net. It's the easiest job as it's a dead (no pun!) channel.
Aw, I'd love to mod it, but don't the 3 current mods have the ~4 posts per month fairly well under control?
Yes they do. I was joking anyway, for the volume of posts the comm gets it's got enough mods.
One or two more couldn't hurt though, I'd think... :powercry-1:
I'd like to help mod /c/mentalhealth in the future, but right now I'm not active enough on the site. Examining, documenting, and working on my own mental health is a huge part of my life, and I want to take what I've learned and help other comrades when they're stuck in a rough spot.
Could I please have the powers of a moderator without any of those pesky responsibilities please?
I want neither the powers nor the responsibilities; I just want to be recognized as some sort of Official Good Boy Who Does Good Comments
