I'm mostly concerned about https://lemmy.world/c/newhampshire because I'm from there, but they're on a range of location and interest communities. Where's the line for community mod-squatting?

Ew. Can we put a Fediverse vote up to ban Elon from everything? Sorry... but not sorry?

It'a going to be up to admins to relieve communities of mod squatters. I believe they have been responsive in the past, I just don't have direct experience with them.

That's the real Elon

He probably ran out his daily tweet quota and needed something else to do.

At this point in history it is basically 50/50 whether it is him. Heck, probably more than 50%.

The Elon_Musk account has been banned for community squatting and being inactive for almost two weeks.
If there is no activity in a community, it will be purged so that others can use the name.
If you would like to claim one of the communities, please reply to this comment.

User buelldozer has done the same thing with several communities, apparently reserving them for the mods of the corresponding subreddits.
I'd like to see c/sexover30 active and would take it over to see that happen.

I am having trouble with replies but I have a comment there: https://lemmy.world/comment/649507

Thanks @michelleg! Is it also possible to remove him from the mod list? I don't see a way to do that, and it doesn't look like they've made any posts or comments in the community.

!scotland too - I messaged him to see if he'll pass. No reply yet

I've sent you a message regarding the Scotland community. Overall, the team is working on standards for creating communities. Creating dozens to then "squat" will be addressed.

I noticed the same thing when I found /c/savannah. At least it has a thumbnail, banner and description unlike most of them.
