Want to get yall’s feedback on community squatting.

There are a good amount of communities with zero posts, comments, etc, as well as some users who have created communities but aren’t trying to grow them or even post to them in any way.

I’d rather have the creators of communities be someone who’s at least contributing to them.

Some options are, occasionally deleting communities with little to no activity, or limiting modship to a small number of communities.

    Italy isn’t really a brand tho, its a country. Someone might want to make an alternate italy community, this happens a lot on reddit when people don’t like the moderation of their local / country subs.

    I understand the need to stop brandjacking, but luckily in our federation builds we use the fully qualified usernames / community names, so people are going to know its the real one.

      Yes you are right. The analogy does not hold. I am going to delete the community. :hugging face:
