I have to say I’m confused by and mistrustful of the inclination to be a power mod. a brief glance at your post history reveals nothing untoward, but it does leave me with a question: why are so many of your moderated communities closed or migrated or dormant or whatever? dont mistake me for hostile here. like i said, im just curious about your motiviation and in general apt to mistrust those who seek power.

Most of these were the result of community consolidation efforts over on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.
When multiple options are available, users generally prefer to consolidate away from lemmy.world, to avoid centralization on the largest instance (Reddit 2.0). Nothing against lemmy.world specifically, it just happens to be the largest instance.
alright. and is that what you plan to do here, too? shut down the sub and point users at the mander comm you identified in the post? i cant see anything wrong with that, and it doesnt sound like you’re actually seeking the mod position which quells that concern. i approve of and applaud your organic fedigrow ‘weeding’ efforts. i support your application for control of the comm.

In this case, as it is the mander.xyz instance which has shut down for an extended period of time, the consolidation would be towards lemmy.world rather than away from it, so your concerns regarding my seeking of the mod position are still technically valid.
