So the mod team here basically is going to operate the same way we did on Discord: largely just being a glorified janitor and not making decisions on behalf of the community, with monthly mod rotations based on what so far has just been vague consensus (assuming everyone's cool with that). I personally don't think it's too risky since we have a receptive and trusted admin/site mod team that can easily dunk on any asshole powertrippers if the community wants to recall someone.

We're gonna try to have discussions in the open whenever possible and let everyone here in the community make decisions together. No formal votes just yet, just reading the room for now 'cause it's been easy to get consensus so far. If things have to be put to a vote, we'll do it, but if possible we're wanting to build consensus and listen to everyone first rather than just immediately dismiss people because their idea got beat 51-49.

So first up: rules. What do we want them to be here? Do we even want formal rules? Are we gonna rely on the community making judgment calls when someone acts like an ass? Are we just aiming for something like what we have on Discord? How on-topic do we want to be?

    I agree that we shouldn't have additional rules, we're anarchists! Also, I concur on mod rotation being a good idea.
