Requesting art@lemmy.world community

I recently took over a handful of unmoderated communities and would like to request another: !art

I messaged the mod, but did not get a reply. I don't see any account activity in the past 2 months either. I'd like to shape the community to be about art in any medium, whether that be sharing art or posting news about art.

I added you as a mod.

@Photographer mentioning you here so you'll know what happened if/when you come back.

This reminds me of the issue of power mods

Power mods remove democracy since they control large swarths of communities and their biases get involved

I have never deleted a post or banned a user. The communities I mod are tiny. Just trying to revitalize some smaller communities. Also, of the couple “power mods” I know on Lemmy, they tend to be among the most fair mods (shout out to @jordanlund as an example)
. It’s the random ass rogue ones who create some community lining up with their specific interests who then want to control all the discussion that do weird stuff.
