Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.
No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.
Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

First off, if you acknowledge you haven't looked into it at all... Maybe do that before commenting. Not to be mean just like, you would genuinely have a lot more insight on the topic if you did
But also beyond the great answers others have given, I think it's very important to note that providing a structured space for such conversations to happen in actually enhances safety over the current status quo, which is that they still happen but in a more ad-hoc fashion. It allows people to gather reliable sources in one place and refer back to previous posts/stickies easier than if these discussions are happening in the mega or in c/traa. So unless you're proposing banning discussion of DIY, which I doubt, it should be compared against what is happening now not a theoretical "no possible harm" scenario
