You can contribute by discussing Moderation, Community Management, the Discord Moderator Academy, and participation in subprograms. DMD is a server for experienced moderators to talk to each other about moderation, the Discord Moderator Ecosystem, or moderation concerns surrounding new (and old) Discord features. Currently, in order to join DMD, you must either pass the DMA Exam and be 18+ years old or graduate from the MMC.

The program's purpose is for the mentors to mentor the mentees and provide feedback, support, and guidance to them. Mentees are selected through the DMA Exam process.
