I am requesting modship for homestuck@lemmy.world
The existing mod has only ever made one post in there about 3 months ago. Even that was a result of me asking them to via DM. They have been inactive since.
After seeing it other users complaining about it in other communities I posted a notice in homestuck@lemmy.world that I come here and do this. I also suggested that if anyone else wanted it they could have it. It has been a week and I got a few responses but no one seemed interested taking the role.
Ok, so that specific *@ has some long history I’m not aware of. Still raises the question - I thought the point of this type of thing was that you don’t have to deal with derelict communities ‘run’ by absent moderators - you can just go somewhere else? Right? Or am I just being a jerk here.
Well creating a new community on a separate instance whould be a good plan B. For the purposes of making it easy to find for new users and not having dozens of dead communities with the same name it makes more sense to me to just use the one that exist. It would also provide a corner stone of users and post. That is unless somone else already made another community for this elsewhere but nothing came up in my searches for it.
From my understanding based on other post on here this is somthing that can be done by the instance mods. If I ask nicely enough.
