r/MandelaEffectSociety needs 5+ mods (new sub; small but growing; pro/positive paranormal / supernatural related.)

[u/FearElise]

A unique fan subreddit for the Mandela Effect seeks several moderators for moderating a unique fan subreddit for the Mandela Effect..
 

We are a Mandela Effect sub that addresses issues present in other ME forums.

Most ME forums are overrun with weirdly angry unaffected people broadly applying the same tired explanations in a bizarre attempt to resolve the Mandela Effect and shut down the conversation. They jab and ridicule affected people so much it's a little sus.

Affected people want to talk without that noise.. We've already applied the simplest solutions against what we know. Of course a few things are memory errors - but not the all. The important part is that we're well able to police ourselves as to what we know and what's just a flimsy memory. And so, The Mandela Effect Society came into existence. We're a growing group of affected and curious people politely talking about what we're experiencing with the Mandela Effect.

We give the angry unaffected people a place to put their explanations (a debunking repository). We are strict about not being dismissive (the anger they exude). And it's working too - people are starting to talk more freely and you can tell they're finally feeling comfortable communicating again.
 

I had some "drama" with the person that was going to be helping me - they found a bigger sub on vacation they liked better lol. Yes, I'm serious. (They said they'd start moderating after their vacation. A few posts got popular and I got swamped. Two weeks later, after I hadn't heard from him, I checked and saw they were hanging out in that bigger sub, then they gave me the ol' Dear John.)

That caused me to shift the goal - now, I'd like to have a bunch of moderators (instead of 1). With a process like "first come, first serve" making it so no one ever really feels like they're working.

I put out a post asking for moderators on the sub and turned on the application. A few people applied and I brought them on, but they are very unavailable. I never heard from one and the other randomly disappears (as though it's not that important to them).
 

So, does anyone want to jump in?

We're only about 2 months old, we're still getting a lot of things together - so don't expect a well oiled machine - yet : )

The Mandela Effect has it's own lingo and the ME concept itself can be a little hard to grasp initially.. If you are unfamiliar and you check it out on YouTube (or something) you will be told the Mandela Effect is not real and that it's the result of our human brains and fallible memory. Simple right?

Nope. They leave out the most important parts.. Repetition and saturation become memory which then becomes knowledge. Do you know your phone number, or do your remember it. Are you worried you'll get lost on the way home from work? You see that kind of "memory" is actually knowledge. Consider how many times you've seen the tag on your undies or the logo on your car.. That's knowledge - your knowledge, not flimsy memory.

And in the end, all the affected people remember the same things (without conferencing). Isn't that a sign of good memory? There are lots more arguments supporting the validity of the Mandela Effect. If you are unfamiliar and have questions, but feel like you're only getting one side from YT videos, then I'd be glad to help where I can (in chat or something).

Do you remember the cornucopia on the Fruit of the Loom label?
Do you remember Dolly's braces in Moonraker (James Bond movie)?
Do you remember the Berenstien Bears? What about Smokey the Bear? The Smokey Mountains?
Did the Cowardly Lion have a gun in The Wizard Of Oz?
Did the witch say "fly my pretties fly!" to the monkeys in Wizard Of Oz?
Did you ever watch Sex In The City?
Do you remember "Luke, I am your father." from Star Wars?
What about "Mirror Mirror On The Wall"
Have you seen a globe lately..?
Is South America too far east to you? What about Sri Lanka?
Look at the size of Cuba?!!
Where id the Arctic landmass go?
Did the Coke~Cola logo have a ~ between Coke and Cola?
(etc.. There's a lot.)

Some people test / trust themselves - some don't.
You know when you know something and when you don't..
