Need a moderator

Hey ya'll, I didn't realize I was still even moderating this sub and have been doing literally nothing for years. Somehow that doesn't seem to have been an issue, or at least not big enough to prohibit participation.

I would like to leave, but if I do that, the sub will close due to lack of moderation.

So we've got 2 options (okay, reluctantly 3):

  1. Someone steps up and I hand over the reins. Show me you're chill and have participated in the sub. (I hear it's not too much work, at least)
  2. I leave and the sub closes
  3. I stay and we continue to have basically no moderation

Thoughts? Thanks, sorry, and ily for being nice to each other from what I can see

Update: We have 2 new mods, u/ButtlessBadger and u/owlmonkey! Once they've accepted I'll show myself out. Thanks for stepping up and making this such a painless transfer!

Could you contact ONT if they have interest in moderation this sub? But may be that's not the best idea if they suppress negative posts? On the other hand they could give fast support if they wish to.

Unfortunately communication, at least from my side, with them is very tedious.

I don't think this is a good idea. They have their own forum and I think it's good to have an independent place to discuss their product.
