"As part of Hornet Beta Tester program I can help in the maintenance of periodic updates and clean it of any bug introduced in major version changes. The Hornet Beta Tester Program allows me have the first taste of the app today. Once I knew what I was getting into and considering that Hornet is a growing social network I decided to apply for moderator status. [...] Basically, my decision to volunteer as a moderator resonates with most people that volunteer for this: they are community members that want to help making the Hornet app safer and a better place to be! I'm really proud of it."
