For the sake of order and understanding all previous posts regarding moderation will be listed below. It would be nice to have all ongoing discussion in this one central post that I'm speaking in right now. I will chime everyone that has expressed actual interest in actual discussion.
The goal is to have community consensus to the best ability regarding a new mod to be active, I have reached out in modmail and PM'd Clem so they are aware if they are in fact currently around.
I'm requesting to be mod and am open to questions in that regard. For those that don't know me, I've been here since this community was created via an invite from the original mod, Axolotl Peyotl and have been active the last 5 years. I would hope my reputation has shown it's own proof that I care for this community and members, if not, I am willing to provide assurances to any concerns.
Here are the posts that (I'm aware) currently relate to this topic:

Right now the status is that the whole forum is political by default. IIRC, this would be a good time to ask u/Thisisnotanexit if she would like to remove the Politics flag from the description and then to mark politics posts as NSFW, if the community agrees. This would give more app visibility but might lead to some misunderstanding, and would require her to set the meaning of what is political (much discussion of cabal can be charged as "political" rapidly).
I honestly think free thinking and open mind are pretty clear; it merely means not judging others negatively for their opinions, and therefore treating people respectfully even when you disagree.
I wouldn't take the phrase "your issues" as an important indicator, it appears only an attempt to ask you for specifics just as you like to ask others for specifics. I understand if that phrase has been misused in your past experience. I haven't stepped into that convo because you two seem to be negotiating well. She is open to questions and has a greater burden of transparency now, and so you can ask her anything in place; you can ask me anywhere also, whether here or c/CommunitiesConflict or c/ReputationCampaign or c/Meta (where others would chime in too).
Thank you for responding with your ideas SR :)
Too explain why any post here needs that "NSFW" description? - doesn't that defeat reason of having important discussions? like for example the AMA-1 I am Inspired to share... because as you too well know : it is full of False conspiracies, which should be clarified (by me as well as others) who spent like half a century working in it, plus as well have plenty experience living in the healthy European culture as the exemplary counterpoint, that most born-Americans obviously remain clueless about as evidenced by such Alarming facts as asking the AMA for : *abortions &
aches & pains wanting "cures" for
ionizing-radiation = DNA-changing...tests... &
cancer Tx &
even more pharma-poisons &
"Safe & effective" unending... vaxxines &
organ-Removals surgeries &
( relentless Intentional ) organ Failures &
Volunteering for "public-Service... of donating organs..." &
nearly all of psychiatry &
paying for 2030 Global Grid "protection", &
a zillion other Alarming issues, as you SR also have Awareness about. I did tell Tinae that I would Not overwhelm her group here, but maybe do only 1 or 2 posts weekly on these & other related topics. Altho I saw that vaxxines were mostly already getting covered. What do you SR think? - Ok, this is kinda long, so as I have an appt. now, I will respond to your other points later today. Thanks again for discussing these things :) .
And you are free to post about those medical conspiracies. When I interrupted you were venting about others users and mods, which is not the point of this place.
It's because Scored has an oft-stated default policy that newcomers shouldn't have to face "politics" but should be allowed to opt in rather than to get it by default. Therefore app users are not served forums flagged as political. On Conspiracies we do have lots of political content, so I proposed that by flagging those NSFW they would achieve the admin objective, where they would not be served to newcomers (but all nonpolitical content would be, which it isn't currently); and only those few lurkers who don't have NSFW content turned on would miss it. Though the term "not safe for work" doesn't apply, I said we could interpret it as "not safe for world", i.e. not for broad distribution.
I don't think AMA content is political. Some covid content is political, much isn't. But if we make it a mod discretion issue rather than a forumwide ban, we'd get the original goal of having more exposure for apolitical Conspiracies content.
I'd love to hear your thoughts at the covid roundtable.
Shirley you jest. - we need to have a talk about ^ that, SR. Love you, but I really need to get on with what is on my plate right this minute. Sees you later.
