This community appears to have been abandoned by the current moderator. Their account shows no activity for the past 4 months. They have also not responded to a direct message I sent several weeks ago.

Would anyone like to step up and become the new moderator? We should have an active user in that role.

@[email protected] / @[email protected] I’m mentioning you here for transparency. If you ever come back to Lemmy you should have a notification directing you to this post.

      I kept this community open because @[email protected] volunteered to mod. Though they appear to have been inactive for a few months. I reached out to see if they’re still around. If I don’t hear back then I think we should go ahead and merge this community with [email protected]. The mod over there, @[email protected], was okay with merging when I asked in February.

        Hello! Yes I still think that sounds sensible. Let me know if you hear back.

          This community is going to stay open for now. I found another user interested in taking over moderation. Mentioning @[email protected] for info.

          Also, after further discussion with other users, I’m less enthusiastic about shutting down whitepeopletwitter. It’s our instance’s busiest community, so closing it would feel like a significant loss. And moving a high-traffic community to lemmy.world exacerbates the problem of Lemmy’s federation throughput bug, which hasn’t been resolved yet.
