Community Moderators & Event Stewards — Barista Team (Remote)

Description

AFK Cafe moderators (Baristas) help maintain the structure, safety, and rhythm of the community. This role combines engagement with responsibility — moderators support people, guide tone, and help maintain the integrity of the space.

Moderation here is not passive. It is an active, trained role.

Moderator Responsibilities May Include

Community Safety

• holding boundaries calmly
• conflict de-escalation
• maintaining psychological safety

Community Presence

• guiding tone and engagement
• supporting conversations
• modeling participation

Events

• stewarding live experiences
• helping maintain flow during sessions
• supporting facilitators

Outreach Representation

• representing AFK Cafe externally
• supporting partnerships and collaborations

Systems Awareness

• understanding Discord structure
• supporting onboarding flow
• communicating operational needs

Moderators grow through training and consistency rather than applying directly into authority.
