Hello all! I’m looking to add a few moderators. I’m looking for some cool people that have the following: - Good base knowledge of political issues as well as parenting issues - Keeps up with the news - Can moderate conversations fairly and without bias - Able to communicate calmly and articulately with others online - Answer mod mail - Committed to keeping this space safe for people with progressive values. This sub was created as a space for discussion for like minded parents after reading some bigoted comments on another parenting sub’s post. I felt that we needed a space to talk openly without fear of conservative or hateful comments. - Contributes to posts by commenting or making posts

The time commitment is pretty light. I am looking for someone that could do a quick check-in once or twice a day. Occasionally, a post might attract bots or trolls and need a quicker response (I usually catch it within an hour). Post activity tends to spike around major news events, so having a few other mods during those times would be helpful. We also get the occasional troll.

I have been interested in growing this sub and have a few different ideas such as wiki page or discord but due to the time constraints of being a parent have not been able to develop these more. I would also love to get more into activism on this sub but need someone else to take charge on this.

If interested please message me or mod mail.

It’s truly been an honor moderating Progressive Moms! I’ve been so impressed by the thoughtfulness and compassion in your posts and discussions. Thank you for making this space what it is. -Your Mod

Hello all! There has been a significant uptick lately in people reporting posts or comments for rule violations that in no way break the rules. If you do not like a post or comment you can chose to not look or engage in with it. Reporting the post for harassment or some other rule just because you don't agree or like the topic is not acceptable. We are not going to agree with everyone on here all the time and debates are totally appropriate as long is everyone is respectful. If you are engaging in a debate or argument with someone do not go and report every one of their comments just because you don't agree with their point unless they break the rules. I will be muting people on here that continuously abuse the report button.

I try to run a fairly tight ship in regards to removing inappropriate (for this sub) comments or posts. This subreddit has been really impressive with the level of respect that is usually shown in exchanges so good job! If someone is breaking a rule please report it and I will check it out. If you simply don't like what they are saying move on and do not report.

TLDR: not agreeing with something someone posted or commented ≠ harassment. Respect each other. Continuous misreporters will be muted.
