What can be done about people who create a community and then abandon it? (lemmy.world)

Someone created the ChronicPain community and then abandoned it. I have messaged this person with no response. They haven’t posted, commented, or anything since they made it.

It’s probably a widespread issue but ChronicPain is a support group for those who suffer from it. Is the only real option to create a second one or is someone abandons a community they create can they be removed?

this is going to be happening a lot with the way that reddit is going right now. lots of community names are being squatted by trolls for no reason than to piss other poeple off.

what you can do tho is ask the administrators of the instance, in this case Ruud

I feel like Redditers aren't doing it on purpose. They just want all the niche communities they're accustomed to not really thinking about the work it takes to get them started and rolling or moderate

I think it's, like, 50-50. Even with the blackout, I've seen a bunch of morons on Reddit trying to usurp moderation by being admin bootlickers and requesting a subreddit. It's always kinda surprising what people are willing to do for fake internet points, and being "in charge" of something.
