There are a few regional ones that I'm sure some would love to see thriving, but I'd personally like to see an active SexOver30 community for those of us who are not spring chickens anymore. I know others have been removed for similar behavior.

It is I, the user in question! I've been busy on another instance and hadn't checked in here for a few days, so apologies for that. I'm not a "powermod" nor am I "squatting" on communities as some kind of power play. The particular community you want is an NSFW adjacent space that's helped untold thousands of people over the years and it absolutely REQUIRES a sex positive moderation team without any egocentric jackassery in order to function correctly.

The /c/ you asked me for is, as you know, based on a Reddit sub and one that I'm heavily invested in. I've been part of that community as both a user and moderator for a very long time. I am quite literally one of the people who helped build and maintain what you enjoyed.

Is it "Reserved" for Reddit moderators? No, or at least not really. When I created that /c/ it looked like Reddit was going to come completely unwound very shortly (still might actually) so I was making some elbow room in case we needed to shift over in a hurry. In fact all of the communities I created here are the same way; I'm not just "a" mod in the subs those lemmy communities are based on I'm actually a builder of them. It's also why some of them have "placeholder" posts, so if another mod from that sub happened to wander by they would know to make a request.

With that said you are absolutely correct that I need to either do something with the /c/ you requested or let it go. So with that how about you join me in building a similar community here on lemmy.world?

Thanks for the reply! I and my wife are two of those thousands who were helped by that subreddit over the years. I would love to help build a similar space here for those of us who have left Reddit completely behind. My intention was not to stage a coup or hostile takeover -- I just wanted to see it turn into an active and positive community.

I made a "Community Update" post to the sub. If you reply to it I can make you a mod. :)
