There are two fairly active communities with almost identical topics:

The community on ml is named “crows” but its scope includes “crows, ravens, and other corvids”.

Taking into account the community names, overlapping topics, instance size, and other issues with ml, might we consider consolidating towards sopuli.xyz?

        Thanks for your input!

        I would just like to note that using the algorithm of “posting wherever is most active” will usually result in consolidating to the largest instance, which is not ideal for the health of the fediverse as a whole.

          While true, nobody really wants to post to a dead community either, you know? Sort of a self-perpetuating problem.

            True, though sometimes all it takes to grow a community is one or two users posting consistently. And in this case, both communities have a similar level of activity.

            What’s your fedipolice number, officer?

            Why wouldn’t he want to move to this dead community, where you guys just stole his and other people’s content from their community to pretend activity for two weeks while he build the community up on his own for years and it is actually coming along? This is how you treat grass roots community builders?

            I was a contributor to crows too btw, i don’t want to move to your dead comm just so can wank yourself to sleep over your fedipurity fantasies. And the way you are setting this up with shameless lies about activity and disrespect for their efforts is just disgusting.

                That is so very respectful of you, thank you. While i could not find a single post of you or your Claquers in there either, i notice that you have started funneling stolen content from the bad crows comm into your just as active corvid comm. What great guys you are.

        Nobody asked me, but you guys, calling for the crows community to move off of ml don’t actually give a fuck about crows, you just started to create fake traffic in the sopuli community to please your real interest: computers, fediverse and instance beef.

        Mechanismatic is an awesome poster who put a lot of dedication posting original crow content into the crows community for years, the sopuli one was completely dead up until you guys apparently came up with the idea to create some fake traffic two weeks ago. As far as i checked zero original content either but a bunch of stuff just pulled the ml community. Absolutely hate to see it.

        Mechanismatic, keep doing your thing please, wherever you want to, you’re the man.
