The preference of locale is to cover global time zones to fit lemmy world's guidelines for moderators. I'm in Spain, Siyah is from Pakistan. The history community is growing to the tune of 100 new subscribers per month, so I, as the head moderator, am responsible for making certain all bases are covered for "large communities number undefined" under lemmy world's ever evolving guidelines for mods. It's an easy gig, as I've said before. Nothing too strenuous. You would need to familiarize yourself with the community rules (not hard) and the lemmy world Code of Conduct I'm always available to consult with if you have a question when in doubt about historical accuracy / inaccuracy. I can't say enough about how much of an easy gig moderating this community is. It's also fun because you discover new things about the past you never knew about before with every post from community subscribers. There is activity, and it's usually high quality activity, whether it be posting or commenting. If you happen to live in Antarctica, you would really be helpful here, because then the time zones would all be covered!

Jokes aside, I'm sorry my friend, but I don't live in the Americas. I do have a pulse but I live in Europe. I appreciate you being cool about the whole joke though :) and I agree that some mods disappear right after creating a community. Lord knows how many communities I've joined that had been sadly abandoned in the meantime, so I think it's great you're trying your best to keep this one alive and I wish you the best of luck with it! (I’d imagine you'll get more replies as the people in North/Central/South America wake up)
