@asklemmy What is up with people creating Communities and then not even posting a single post in them?
Like wouldn’t you want to be able to grow a community by doing a post here and there, even just a welcome post to say why you created the community would make sense wouldn’t it?
If you want to take over a dead community, or a community where the mods have been inactive for six months, please reach out to me.
Having to contact mods, make a case and wait for resolution is a level of mental transaction that would prevent people doing it. It would be easier to purge communities that match some clear standard for abandonment which would make you hand them over when asked
Why the hell would you have to wait 6 months on a community with zero posts? That just screams “We don’t actually want to deal with it”
It’s a guideline, not a rule. Just talk to us if you have a situation.
A no squatting rule would be awesome!
