It seems all the mods for technology@lemmy.world are inactive, and are not making any effort to combat spam.

How to go about requesting to mod the community myself?

    1. If there are clear spam posts, report them. Save their links so you can track whether the mods respond. You may find here that they’re not inactive after all, in which case the problem is solved.
    2. Reach out to the mods, in a post asking to be added to the mod team. Again, save the url to track whether the mods respond. You may find here that they’re willing to accept help and add you as a mod, again problem solved.
    3. If reaching out to the mods as described above fails, you need admin help. Post in !moderators@lemmy.world or email admin@lemmy.world with the results of 1 and 2, along with any violations of the moderators guide pinned in the moderators community.

    The admins generally won’t intervene until you’ve made a good faith attempt to coordinate directly with the mods and documented a clear case that they’re unresponsive or malicious.

      Not sure where this confusion came from, but that is not true, I am also an active mod there.

          Oh gotcha, it is unfortunate non-mods/non-admins are not able to see in the mod logs for who is doing what on LW. If you were able to though, you would see Enu and myself are very active, even though we are not commenting or posting. Same for report resolutions, we get a good amount of reports (false and positive) that we have to weed through throughout the day, those are not publicly viewable (and shouldn’t be).

          But that is what I did not get, in the mod logs you can see the community is being actively moderated even though you can’t see who is doing what.

          Edit:

          enu is the only inactive mod I found.

          Also, I’d like to apologize for misreading the above. Initially I thought this said “is the only active mod”. Enu has multiple accounts, which would make sense on why you’d think they’re inactive

    Hey @breadsmasher@lemmy.world, not sure which spam you are referring to, but I am one of the mods of !technology@lemmy.world and we do our best to remove any spam we see or that is reported.

    That being said, there have been times when articles get posted that people report as “spam” that we do not deem to be. If you could provide an example of one we have not removed, I will review it with the other mod and figure out why we did not remove the post/comment - but typically this happens because of the above.
