/m/politics has no moderators other than ernest (kbin.social)

/m/politics is basically unmoderated, and the trolls and other ne'er-do-wells are starting to find it. I'm not even particularly interested in following it, but that's one topic that you don't want to leave unmoderated. It's a troll magnet for obvious reasons, and that starts to affect the rest of the instance (and the fediverse) if there isn't anyone enforcing some sort of decorum.

@ernest I know you're ridiculously busy right now, but could you find a moment to appoint someone to recruit a mod team for /m/politics? I'd be willing to do the recruiting if you don't have any better candidates, but I wouldn't want to remain on as a moderator after that's done.

Alternatively does anyone here actively want the job?

Hmm... I used to be supermoderator on a fairly large forum (originally gaming focused, but had since expanded) back in the day, as well as moderator on an imageboard. That said, the reason I don't moderate things now is because it's incredibly stressful. But I was relatively active in r/politics until this whole debacle, so I guess this could be considered wanting to give back to the community. Definitely don't want to do it long term, though. That said, m/politics seems to be chugging along just fine without mods for now.
