Hi everyone! You might recognize my name in here by now, but now you’ll see a tiny little ‘m’ next to it!
Dremor (head mod here in c/Games) recently asked me if I could step into moderating here, and I have accepted.
I’ve done a lot of moderating on Reddit, from super-large places with 10s of millions subscribed to it (in the fields of tech and programming, gaming and so on), to extra small ones (the last I grew from nothing to 35K when I left the site), so I do know how to not only moderate, but to foster a community and help it feel fun. Though, to be totally fair…it’s been a good while since I left Reddit - I’ll be rusty!
And what I haven’t done is moderate her on Lemmy, so I hope you’ll give me a little time to not only learn the ropes…but find them first.
I’m lucky in that a lot of my good friends are developers of games, projects, programs, operating systems and apps to do with gaming (and so on), so maybe in time I’ll be able to convince some to do some things here in this community (giveaways, AMAs, chats, something-like-that), but we’ll see!
If you’ve got anything you’d like to see in c/Games, then by all means leave a comment so we can see what we can do.
That’s all, I think!
Do you actually play games with your free time? Haha
Yes!
Okay so before 2 or so months back, I worked as a pen-tester (red team), so when I wasn’t breaking in to facilities, or convincing security guards that I was the CEO’s daughter or a worker who forgot their pass, I was typically on my desktop. Which left me some time to spend contributing to spaces like this community on Lemmy!
Since then though I had a bit of a health hiccup, and took time off. I’m still taking time off, and while I’m being as active as I can, I’m now with quite a bit of time to spend doing things like this, or writing the odd feat. article/interview and sharing it on my friend’s site - so maybe I’m lucky, in one regard?!
Right now I’m playing Red Dead on my Switch OLED, and Deus Ex Mankind Divided on my Steam Deck :)
Make sure you play the Mankind Divided DLCs after! A Criminal Past in particular is probably the best “new Deus Ex” content they ever put out.
Also, congrats on being made a mod! I literally cannot think of a better person for the role.
