I agree. Its a systemic issue imo. I'm just trying to help since I very much care about open source and think this community needs to be protected against image loss done by being spammed this way. Thanks for elaborating. :)

Yes, in general I see a lot of comms have been abandoned by their mods, which is unfortunate and leaves us few admins having to pick up the slack on comms we’re not even necessarily familiar with. And we don’t currently have any sort of auditing to for knowing a comm is abandoned and haven’t yet developed any sort of playbook or automation tools for it.

And again, we do appreciate the help!

Perhaps create a post in such communities asking its users to step up.

Your "job" as an admin should not be to moderate communities but control moderators; removing abusive or inactive ones and appointing new ones.

Sure, always eager to help. Seeing the work you guys do is impressive. I‘m self taught at coding so if there is anything additional I should help with, feel free to lmk.
