Sorry i was throwing you under the bus there 😆 I had no idea that it was such a fauxpas to not do a meta post but ask people you trust in private if they’d be down to mod. I don’t get why that is, but that may be just me.
Both are good. It depends of lot things. You may want to chose privatly or open a meta post.
I like doing meta post because it shows to users that we are taking it seriously and tell them how we want to manage it. What we want to achieve. Privatly is also great, let’s say you will open a sensible community on feminism, you don’t want to mess it up and need someone you can trust.
My main role won’t be moderator but animator that’s what i enjoy the most. 😊
And if i didn’t have alts/accounts on lemmy, mbin piefed, iceshrimp, mastodon, peertube, i wouldn’t accept it. In a way, i’m similar to Blaze and Camus. :)

For the additional context, my last experience with a mod refusing to allow meta posts lead straight into power tripping: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/29606682?scrollToComments=true
