As the lemmygrad community was heavily in agreement of merging our many (~10) “Shit X Say” communities into one, we are moving forward with that.
But here I’m proposing the last call to make your voice heard before we start deleting stuff.
Our proposition is to have 2 communities :
- Keep ShitLiberalsSay for all things from reactionaries and non-communists, because it’s a big and active community
- Create a new ShitUltrasSay community for all things from “leftists”, e.g. MLMs, anarchists, trots, patsocs, ultras, leftcoms…
The merger will look like this (again still a proposition):
- In a first step, a grace period of several days is allowed so that you can save content from all the deleted communities. We’ll also announce which communities will be merged where.
- In a second step, we will delete the superfluous communities. This means all their content and comments will be deleted from the front end, but still accessible via direct link.
- In a third step, we have to assign the new ShitUltrasSay community (not yet created) to someone. I’m not entirely sure about how to solve that yet. If all the current mods of Shit X Say community want to pitch in and decide between themselves if they want to mod together or something.
- After that, we will clarify in the main sidebar that everything should be posted in those two communities and we will delete all new communities that bear the Shit X Say label that can fit into one of the two existing communities.
All inputs welcome of course.
My suggestion is that Shit Liberals Say be renamed to Shit Reactionaries Say and the following groups be stored in there: liberals, patsocs/nazbols, fascists, conservatives, anarchists (some) and similar
Plus, a group to be added named Shit Ultras Say to include the following groups: Maoists, Hoxhaists, Gonzalists, anarchists (some) and similar
Seconding renaming SLS to SRS
It’s doable but the only issue is that the url will still be lemmygrad.ml/c/shitliberalssay
Can all the content be migrated to a new community that has the proper URL (idk if Lemmy software has this kind of functionality). Only if it’s something that’s feasible and doesn’t require much effort from the admins of course, since renaming is much easier than all that.
Possibly if we go into the database and do it manually. But even then I’m not sure it’s feasible, it might break stuff.
I second this. I have one of the ultraleft posting subs. Let me know if / when I should close it.
