Notes

This session may just be a moderator debrief/decompress space, but please add thoughts as you wish.

Tips & tricks, telling tales, resources you’ve found,etc.

• Cross-instance moderator chats are both informative and supportive.

• What’s the role? View of this as social service work.

• Can we share whatever procedures we have developed/published, mods-to-mods?

• Collective belief in our role and purpose can conflict with circumstances.

• Codification is protective, lets us externalize the stress.

• https://iftas.org - moderator-to-moderator networking and resources

• horizontal vs. vertical human relationality

• “safety” sense is very different among roles and individuals, and moderators need a separate sense/space from their communities sometimes
