Moderators Wanted

Hey all,

Just figured I'd get something going for one of the most beautiful regions the US has to offer. Obviously, I'm hopeful that this little community gains traction as it provides an alternative to other, more restrictive and less open communities.

My goal for this community is to have a place for all of us who live in the New York that gets overlooked to share news, stories, and information for each other and others that might want to visit or move to our neck of the woods.

As such, I'd like this community to be a little more broad than other, specific communities outside the fediverse. A sort of mashup of Upstate and anything Adirondacks if you will.

In order for that to work out, it'd be nice to connect with some of you all that may be scattered across the state as I'd very much like the moderation team for this community to have direct ties to the places they're posting about/moderating.

If folks are comfortable, at some point I'm even contemplating a small meet up or something similar, so we're not just faceless entities.

So with this brief outline of what I'm thinking in mind, if you feel like UpstateNY is a place you're knowledgable about, you've got a strong local connection, and an ability to set aside personal biases feel free to reach out regarding currently open moderator positions.

So with that, I'll see y'all at the Saranac Lake Ice Castle this winter. Looks like it'll be cold enough to last more than a day this time around.
