TwoXChromosomes - SLRPNK
slrpnk.net
About A place for serious and silly content intended for women’s perspectives. (We are not the same mods as the Reddit r/twoxchromosomes [https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/] sub) Rules We are currently following a modified version of r/TwoXChromosomes rules here [https://slrpnk.net/comment/195833].

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.

    Considering your intention is to close the community, it might be good to have a discussion over there about who should be at the helm. If the community is largely supportive of the direction you want to take it, then great. If not, and the mods are inactive, it might be better to have someone more invested in the existing community take over.

    I agree it does not look very actively moderated right now. Did you try contacting /u/GreatWhiteBuffalo41 via DM?

    But I think I will include this community in next month’s “community gardening” list together with other seemingly abandoned communities to see if there are any people interested in taking it over. If not we can do what you propose or just prune it.

    @HardlightCereal pointed it already out, but I think its worth mentioning in top level comment.

    In the original discussion on this topic (here and here) it felt good faith and folks atleast tried to be trans inclusive from my perspective. Also the moderation at that moment took a pretty transinclusive stance, see their FAQ.

    When I look at the current discussion on !twoxchromosomes@slrpnk.net it does not seem to be the same spirit. I think multiple upvoted comments are trans exclusionary and/or transphobic. None of those comments come from users that are from slrpnk.net btw

    While I think this sample size is to small to judge a community with 800+ users, it still shows atleast a tendency.

    Sorry for the technical question, but how did you manage to cross-post this to the same community? Looks like you found a bug in Lemmy with this combination as it isn’t listed in /c/meta on the normal Lemmy webui.

      Same thing here - using the web UI. This post showed up in my feed, but going over to c/meta it doesn’t show up.

    The original subreddit was kind of a cesspool anyway. I witnessed men and women get bullied over trivial nonsense so much that I unsubbed from the original subreddit.
