Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse.

"fediverse@xxx", "Linux@xxx", "asklemmy", "askkbin"..etc...

I'm on kbin and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage... like I used to do on Reddit?

You've made two threads about this already. It really doesn't need to be spammed everywhere.

The "merger" was cited as a factual example. I do need to correct that because it is a lie.

We'll be just fine without your hot take in every thread.

If you prefer the lie then you can just ignore my correction, and my future ones as well because I will keep correcting this falsehood as long as this lie is being repeated. There's a block button on Lemmy.

No thanks, I'm allergic to filter bubbles. Instead of shitting up every thread and telling people to put in nose plugs, perhaps you could stop being an "ethics in game journalism"-style crank?

Oh, I disagree. This is valid context to the current discussion, and it raises the visibility of a real issue.

The merging of communities above a certain size should be discouraged for the sake of diversification and moderatability, and if already large communities are being merged without or evenagainst community input, that's an issue.

There is no reason the admins on the server with the locked community should play ball with the mods here. These are independent and unaffiliated websites, after all.

If you don't like it, you don't need to read it.

There are valid reasons to be for the merger, and valid reasons to be against it. However, the argument has been posted quite visibly for anyone that cares about it, and the appeal has been made to the lemmy.world admin. The admin will decide what to do, and that should be the end of it.

What we really do not need is a swarm of cranks coming out of the woodwork to Correct The Record™ every time someone makes mention of the event without putting the "proper" spin on it. It is not some grave injustice. If you don't like the outcome, then join one of the other existing android communities instead of participating in the merger. Or create your own, so that you can run it how you want. And then get on with your life.

Why?

By that logic, your complaint has been made, shouldn't you shut up, too?
