Context
At Lemmygrad, we love doing purges.
This post regarding “controlling the creation of minuscule communities and cleaning up abandoned ones” garnered a lot of agreement so it’s time we began cleaning up dead communities. The communities page should be more useful after this.
What we would like to do is clean up such communities in phases, loosening the criteria as we proceed with each phase. We will run each phase through the community to gather feedback before pulling the trigger.
In doing so, we hope to experiment and determine what a good criteria is for finding community candidates for removal. Once we have settled on a reasonable criteria, we can do this periodically. Maybe every six months. We can thus allow community creation freely when clean up at intervals to control the mess.
This is the first phase of this process.
Phase 1
For this, we want to catch the communities that have been dead since arrival. The exact criteria is:
- Communities that are at least one month old
- Communities that have not seen any post or comment for their entire existence
This criteria is pretty strict in the sense that it will only catch communities that we won’t mind being gone (I think).
There are 36 communities that match this criteria. They are listed in tabular format at the end of the post hidden under the spoiler tag. The removal process is going to proceed as follows:
- Communities created in 2023 and earlier will be removed after two days at 2024-05-26 06:30:00 UTC.
- Communities created in 2024 will be removed after a week at 2024-05-31 06:30:00 UTC.
- If you would like any of the listed communities to not be deleted for some reason, you can comment here or message the admins. Maybe you want to adopt the community or whatever.
