Yeah I kinda get ya, but still don't agree with competing solely on numbers and feel it could lop off someone's feed without them wanting/realising it.
And like u/empty. I've worked with fellow mods over on reddit who, to this day if you looked at their profile you'd think they were a dead account.
But then, if you check the modlogs it's like yikes, this guy does 95.66% of the grind. All Praise the u/empty evil mod that shall not be named. 😘
There are ways to notify people of consolidations: https://lemmy.world/post/24312613
Again I'm not sure the admins of LW actaully want to migrate any community and I'm also not really sure why, it's needed. Can't these things live in harmony?
One of the best things I ever did was intentionally not promote my first community I ever made since I knew it was asking for it in doing so, and rather left it to grow by itself.
Which it is (albeit on fucking reddit)
Agreed. Folks can choose where to post as it is. Also, our friends in the lemmy.world admin team have expressed their preference for communities to be transferred to new moderators (after a bit of time for the transition) in the event of a merger.
