There are a lot of “Shit X Says” communities now, which inevitably leads to quite a few cross-posts and makes people less likely to see others’ comments (e.g. someone comments on a “Shit Liberals Say” post, someone else on the “Shit Fascists Say” version of the post, etc.). It might be a good idea to just have one “Shit Reactionaries Say” community, either by creating a new one or by repurposing the most popular one (SLS), and then setting the other communities to only allow mod posts (basically read-only).
Thank you for coming to my TEDxLemmygrad talk. Proposal co-authored with a second mysterious tankie
Addendum: may be a good idea to also have one community for ultra-leftists separate from the one for general reactionaries.
One thing to watch out for in future might be people who want to mod the merged group. They might set up a new community knowing/thinking that it will be closed and merged so that their mod status is transferred over to the main merged group.
I’m unsure if this would be part of the plan for new communities of this sort, but we should guard against creating a way for wreckers, etc, to get mod powers over a large community. Just a thought.
