No, usually I have an alt account that I use mostly for modding. Avoid having the big M next to any comment I make with Blaze

Probably a silly question, but I'm far from being an expert at moderating: may I ask how you manage multiple accounts? You need to log in and log out every time you want to step in your mod uniform?

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The trick is to use one account per instance. For example, I have

  • feddit.org, this account, to discuss meta things about the Fediverse
  • sopuli.xyz for interest discussions (!movies@lemm.ee, !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, etc.)
  • lemm.ee is the account is use to mod most of the communities

I just have the three tabs open in the browser, and switch from one to another. It would be better to have multicommunities, but that's still ongoing

Thx a lot! That's an excellent idea. Maybe I will do exactly that as, quite frankly, I'm not at all happy to see that capital 'M' next to my name whenever I post something. I would prefer to be a 'simple' user like any other community member.

Feel free! As you are a French speaker, you can consider using https://lemmy.ca/ and https://sh.itjust.works/, those are canadian instances.

And !journaling@sh.itjust.works is already on SJW, so if you get a SJW account, you can appoint that account as the mod, and you'll get the reports there too!

Done. I will keep the old Mod account as Mod for a few days, just in case, but it will be 'downgraded' to a preferred normal user status asap ;)

Thx again for the suggestion.
