Requesting c/twoXchromosomes as the mods are inactive (slrpnk.net)

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.

Well, I put the question to the community, and the top rated comment is a transphobic dogwhistle that claims the community ought to exclude trans women. https://lemmy.world/post/3994308

It's not a coincidence that the community with the gender essentialist name attracted gender essentialists. This is why I asked the admins to take down the community a month ago. It's gatekeeping and it's against the SLRPNK code of conduct.

You put the question to the community and the community said no. The only thing left is to ask slrpnk.net to remove the community because of x, y and z, and if slrpnk.net says no, that's it.

And, giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not just trolling, you should really try and reduce the unneeded namecalling. We have here a community nobody else has a major problem with, and you're out here guns blazing calling everyone transphobic and getting into petty arguments about pedantics (atom means unsplittable, and yet atoms are very much splittable). You think that "woman" is a purely social term that has no place in biology, others think that "woman" can have multiple meanings (like a lot of words), and one of them is "biological female at birth", and you then proceed to call them names.

Life is so much better when you don't get out of your way to get offended by things that don't bother anyone else by people who don't have ill thoughts. You can use this and improve yourself a bit, or you can continue to bother people with no ill will. Either way, don't pretend you're speaking for the majority.
