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.
Hello,
Any update on this?
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.
Sounds great, thank you for keep an eye on this!
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.
