Modmin

Instead of alerting the officials, users are told to tag a modmin, who will quickly review the situation and do what needs to be done so that the group can continue to function.

As soon as I set up a course page with my CRs as my fellow modmins, my course students immediately joined the page and within a week I started lectures.

As those needs come, Williams and her team of modmins remain more dedicated than ever to keeping their Buy Nothing Group as welcoming and safe a space as possible in order to both provide – and create – community.

Having moderators and administrators (modmins) who are very active can go a long way to knowing who is in your community, what’s happening in your community, and ensuring everyone feels comfortable in the space you’ve created.
