Remote Content Moderator (Technology & Hardware Communities) - English 01/2026

This content moderation opportunity supports online communities centered around consumer electronics, modular computing, and sustainable technology. The communities focus on high-performance laptops and desktops designed to be repairable, upgradeable, and user-owned, challenging traditional tech industry models that prioritize planned obsolescence.

Community members range from everyday consumers to highly technical users, including developers and Linux enthusiasts. Moderation emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and clear enforcement of community guidelines rather than direct engagement.

As a Content Moderator, you will be responsible for reviewing and actioning user-generated content using predefined moderation guidelines and macros. This role is operational in nature and does not involve active community engagement or customer support conversations.

Primary moderation will take place on:

• Discourse-based community forums (primary channel)

• Reddit (secondary channel)

Commitment: 10 hours/week for ~60 days (as needed)
Hours of Operation: Coverage starting at 5:00 PM PT and later, including overnight hours, weekends, and U.S. holidays,
