Hello everyone, it has been a long while since I have actually realistically posted in here.
About half a year ago I asked the subreddit how they would feel about a takeover of the subreddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Holostars/...is_the_subreddits_community_thoughts_about_a/
A majority of users who responded were in favor of the community getting the subreddit back.
Unfortunately at the time after everyone's response and trying to request the subreddit, the official accounts became "active" again for a brief amount of time before eventually abandoning the subreddit again.
Since it has been over 3 months since the official accounts has paid attention to the subreddit (plus all the other times where they would come back to do a few posts then disappear for months again), I recently made the request to takeover the subreddit once again and this time it went through.
.
Currently I am in the process of getting the subreddit back into the hands of the community, as someone who used to post in both hololive and holostars subreddits, it is frustrating to see the official accounts constantly abandon and forget to post very important things like birthdays and anniversaries.
Over the next couple of days we will be recruiting moderators for the subreddit in a separate post, so please look out for that!
u/PLandLord, who was inquired to previously, will also step up to being a moderator.
I hope to return the subreddit back to the community and not be like before where it is constantly abandoned by the official accounts over and over with the lack of activity, posting one big event every few months, etc.
As before, when the official accounts took over, they made promises that were not kept, such as trying to not split up the subreddits too much and that has failed quite often as posts have been before in the past, been downvoted / reported to get kicked off of the main subreddit with how they had set up the automod.
There are no plans to return the subreddit to the official accounts as they've shown time and time again that this subreddit isn't on their radar.

Any suggestions or changes that you would all like, please feel free to leave comments.
