I'm with @nonlinear.eth - I stopped putting time into moderating and curating /slowcore-hq because channels were de-prioritized, and because we didn't have a sustainable economic model so we struggled with moderator attrition.
I wrote a long post (pinned in the channel) about why the mods decided to put /slowcore-hq into extended hibernation.
It's a small cozy corner, but it's well-loved by its followers.
I'd gladly invest time to revive it and develop a membership model for it if (as Jonny said) I knew it wouldn't be wasted effort.
