A month ago, I made a post asking that c/twoXchromosomes be removed from the instance due to known concerns with the name in regards to trans people, and the mods’ stated intention not to compromise on the name. Since then, the community’s mods have gone inactive. u/Justincase_2008@lemmy.world has only two posts on the website, and the most recent one is 2 months ago. u/GreatWhiteBuffalo41 has not commented on the site in 22 days, and has not been active on c/twoXchromosomes for 2 months. There have been 4 posts to the community in the time since my post about the community name a month ago. The modlog shows no mod activity in 2 months.

I would like to appeal to the admins that I may take over the community, set it to restricted mode, and make the only post on the community a sticky explaining the problems with the name and redirecting to other feminist communities across the Fediverse.

    I’m not sure it’s that clear cut. Most of the comments seem to be opposed and while you did get a lot of upvotes, there are a notable number downvotes too. Some people may have upvoted the discussion even if they don’t support a full closure. I think it’s a bit ambiguous, and might be clarified by a clearer discussion or poll. Also, the Lemmy community has shrank somewhat and who is still here may be a slightly different compared to back then.

    Was this post after downvotes were enabled? I can’t remember.
