Revive Photoshop Battles? (lemm.ee)

I was looking around, and realised we don't have a single functioning equivalent to r/PhotoshopBattles. On a quick search:

!photoshopbattles@lemm.ee - Completely empty and unmoderated
!photoshopbattles@lemmy.world - Dormant for 2 years (with a mod who hasn't posted or commented on lemmy in 2 years)
!photoshop_nonsense@suppo.fi - Finnish instance, but the newest post is from 6 months ago
!imageedits@lemmy.zip - Dormant for 2 years (mod dormant for 1 year)

We should revive the lemm.ee instance, but imo there is merit to starting afresh with a name that isn't tied to a proprietary closed-source piece of software, like image edits or editbattles

If there's anyone who's interested, please take it up. I don't mind being a mod, but I can't be the main (let's be real, sole) contributor right now. I've got my hands full with !fakealbumcover@lemm.ee, and that's just putting text on images, not even close to realistic edits like this demands.

We remove communities with dormant mods to prevent spam :)

So I made a backup community, !otomegames@lemmy.zip on your community, explicitly saying I would not do any posting or unlock unless the main !otomegames@ani.social died. Is that getting killed unless the community receives posts? What about the @OtomeGamesBot@lemmy.zip (which is usually me manually operating, oops)?

Nah, we do a whole process where we write out to mods first to check before deleting - plus iirc you've put its a backup community in the sidebar. We're not so big I don't recognize the communities quite yet!

We wouldn't delete any dormant account.

Whew, thank you. And you are absolutely right I am explicit about its backup status in the sidebar.
