The merger is going along nicely and I will soon announce the grace period (after which we will delete all SXS communities except for SLS and a Shit Ultras Say community that will be created).

Most mods of the soon-to-be deleted communities have given me their approval for deletion and have already backed up their post URLs.

However, SLS is not responding. We want to merge (most) everything into that community as the name is easily recognisable and it’s the biggest community for that, meaning they wouldn’t have to back up the hundreds of posts that were made there.

At this time however only one mod of SLS, @AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml is somewhat still active on Lemmygrad – and they haven’t got back to me regarding the merging, which will probably make SLS much more active.

What I’m proposing to the community then is that all the mods of soon-to-be deleted communities be named mods of SLS. Easiest solution in my opinion.

After the merger is complete, there will only be two communities allowed for Shit X Say types community: SLS, renamed Shit Reactionaries Say, and Shit Ultras Say. All other communities of this type will not be allowed anymore.

    Additionally I’ve created the !shitultrassay@lemmygrad.ml community (if anyone wants it just tell me) and I’ve updated the sidebar to explain the new policy.

    Communities have not been deleted yet (grace period has not been announced yet) but from now on people are not allowed to make new Shit X Say communities, we’ll delete them.

      Thanks, I’ve closed two of the ultraleft ones I modded, and changed their display names to reference /shitultrassay .

    I think we might have to create a new community from the ground up called Shit Reactionaries Say. It would be a loss given that SLS is the one with most users, but in the matter of months that would quickly change with activity

    I’m a big fan of this entire plan, it’ll definitely clean things up a bit. On the SLS/SRS mod consolidation, it does seem like a good idea to have more mods with the anticipated increase in posts, as well as streamlining the transition. I genuinely don’t have much of an idea about how moderating goes, though, so I may be overlooking some things.
