Just subbed mostly because of the promise to avoid outrage culture. Some Lemmy communities for games I have seen are pretty good at slapping down any bigoted stuff (props to them!) but do engage in outrage that happens to be progressive-flavored. On one hand I get it, the post is bad news that probably impacts some gamers, on another, I’d like to enjoy my hobby instead of seeing the 388338th “the gaming industry is having serious troubles, billionaires are bad, short-term-profit-seeking shareholders ruin everything” comment. I agree with that position but I do not want to think about it all the time when I come on Lemmy for fun, not political anger.

ok so I am a forgetful idiot and made a consolidation post two months ago and did absolutely squat with it, but you might want to check it anyways

I have zero dog in this fight and will do whatever the majority wants.

Unfortunately the name makes it seem like it’s just for ads and not asking where to post. And I am honestly surprised that you, who I think has the view of “don’t make communities with the same purpose on multiple servers, consolidate unless there is a big moderation/content philosophy difference” are cool with !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca both existing. Is there a moderation/content philosophy difference I am not aware of? Is it that !newcommunities is only for new ones and !communitypromo allows any? I recall being able to post old communities that I revived, or that had to move instance on !newcommunities without any blowback, but that was awhile ago so perhaps they actually do have different philosophies now.

Would be an indirect way to see who gets reports, too. You know, in a way besides checking every community’s modlog. I mod a few things and am happy to say I’ve received zero reports and one mild, unintended rule-breaking behavior, so I couldn’t post anything here.
