If there’s no posts how is it abandoned? They could be waiting for posts, start posting before claiming it’s abandoned.
It’s only empty since you also don’t post mate.
What’s there to mod until there’s some content and users to mod? Just taking over a community isn’t going to suddenly make people active mate. Gotta fix problem one before barking about moderation.
You said it yourself, dead communities. They aren’t dead from moderation issues.
Also lots of mods use alt accounts, if there’s no reason for me to log in to my alt for communities without interaction, why would I?
