Edit: for context, I first sent a DM to the single mod asking them if we could consider merging communities (basically my comment below). They ignored me but opened the thread.
My comment
Should we maybe consider merging this one with !movies@lemm.ee ? We have regular pinned posts and movie-specific discussion threads over there, and that community has been more active than this one lately, be it weekly or monthly (1.54k vs 1.32k and 2.92k vs 2.51k). The moderation team has several people, including movie enthusiasts who post there regularly. We had our first AMA a while ago a few weeks ago: https://lemm.ee/post/31335226 And if people ask why we wanted to have a community on another instance than Lemmy.world, the large majority of active communities are already on LW (https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active), it seems better to spread communities a bit.
Reason for removal
Not currently considering this action Maybe in the future.
I guess I’m just a bit sad that they removed the comment altogether instead of letting it there and considering a discussion.
I’ve heard several times that Lemmy should consolidate communities (like what happened with !mapporn@lemmy.world and !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz recently), but I guess it’s easier said than done.
In the meantime, congrats for making this community the most active one!
Your effort to conglomerate all communities under your banner is basically the antithesis of the federated model, and even if it was not considered self promotion, I can see clearly why it was considered overtly hostile and removed.
For somebody who cares deeply about the federation, its userbase, statistics and otherwise, you are actually replicating one of the major issues with reddit that federation was trying to solve. Stop trying to be a powermod in the name of defragmentation. It’s just centralization of power.
So we should just let LW moderators be powermods instead? Who centralizes power, a few mods in this community, or LW who conglomerate the very large majority of active communities under their banner? https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active
Edit: the new mod is also a mod of !gaming@lemmy.world, !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world, !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, and !iowa@lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/u/JonsJava
But I guess I am the power mod?
My brother in Christ, you are literally trying to power broker on federated social media.
Just pointing out when people centralize and abuse their power. As you said, we left Reddit for a reason.
