There’s another community already for patient gamers here: !patientgamers@lemmy.ml.
Consider consolidating to just one community to not split our relatively small group.
I’ve joined both, but will probably be more active at the other.
I don’t think it’s a “dupe”. The same community can have different rules or expectations or culture in different places, and eventually, people will settle down where they feel comfortable. For some, that’s the most populated place, for others, the one that aligns best with their own interests and vibe.
Personally, I’d rather not get invested in the .ml place, considering who’s running the instance.
There is something ironic about a bunch of authoritarian nutjobs making an free and open source decentralized platform.
Hardly dumb. Offer a free and open space you secretly have a back door into and let it get populated. This happens all the time. A recent example would be some crypto exchanges that were secure and anonymous that suddenly disappeared with all the accounts.
I’m sure you can think of other examples too!
-edit- At first I thought it was just satire, related to “communism” thing, more just anti Laissez-faire monopoly capitalism(yes I had to google how to spell that repeatedly!). But…wow, I’m the one that is nieve it seems!
K. I’m no fan of lemmygrad, and thought lemmy.ml was a completely separate thing.
Are there any places that provide open criticism of the owners/admins of each instance? Like “federation meta gossip” or something like that? Obviously a community about patient gaming isn’t the place for this kind of discussion, but I would like to make an informed decision as to where to put my efforts.
Yeah I’d be interested in a community like that, looks like this was posted on another instances Meta community, anyone know of somewhere for Lemmy meta posting?
I imagine there will be many duplicates of several subs over the next while. That means Highlander rules will eventually go into effect!
Fair, and I’m completely expecting that, which is why I’ve subbed to several related communities with the expectation that I’ll be culling that list.
That said, sometimes communities can be hard to find, and the other already seemed to have good engagement, so it seemed like a good place to point people toward.
I just wish there was a better way to vet the admins of each community and the owners of each instance. I’m happy to create my own instance if needed, but I’d rather build a community than build an instance.
