@JPthePirate has created their account 2 months ago (like many redditfugees) and created 40+ communities, only to never log back in. The communities are for the most part empty and completely unmoderated - and a lot of them are “brand names” like the names of videogame studios (!bethesda, !blizzard, !devolverdigital, !activision) and somewhat popular videogames like !cultofthelamb and !diablo4.
Would it be possible to delete the ones that are completely empty anyway so that users who actually want to do something with those communities are able to create them from scratch?
There are, however, currently ZERO mods, as the only one listed as a mod is no longer here.
Where did I say that I want these communities? I’m perfectly happy with the ones I already mod. I just think it’s easier to free up these names for OTHER people so that they have the chance to actually create the communities from scratch themselves instead of having to deal with the mess someone else left behind after scribbling their name on it. I also asked to delete the ones that “are completely empty anyway” which would leave the ones that already have content alone.
I really don’t get why that upsets you so much.
I think we’ve found the missing mod: schmidster.
And there is no content for them to mod?
How can they pin non-existent posts?
How can they engage when the users don’t? Give them something to work with.
You also say people won’t want to post in these places without xyz people post where they want to, without other posts they are going to skip right over them. Gotta have content before you go flashy dude… can’t put lipstick on a pig, gotta have the pig first as well for that matter…
And what mess? They are empty lmfao, how is an empty community a mess?
What is your point here if you don’t want empty subreddits and you think there’s stuff for other people to clean up when there isn’t?
