Over the past week or two, I’ve been discussing merging this community with c/world. The intents and purposes of both of these communities are essentially the same, and we don’t really see a reason to divide that community rather than just put it all under one roof.

We’re open to any and all opinions on this, and nothing is set in stone so please feel free to reply candidly.

Please speak up especially if you feel like:

  1. You wouldn’t like this for really any reason

  2. You feel this community already serves a different purpose

  3. You feel this community could serve a different purpose, and include what changes you’d like to see to meet that goal.

I work with the head mod of c/world, @[email protected], on c/NFL and talk to him regularly, we’re both pretty much on the same page about everything and moderate communities in a similar manner, so if your only reservation would be possible stricter or different moderation, I hope that alleviates some of the concern. All of the mods from here would also be welcome to join over there if we do merge.

    I have had success merging my communities. I ran PS5 and then was given ownership of PlayStation. I posted locked vote posts in each community with two comments. One for yes, one for no. Only upvotes on the comments were counted as some instances disable downvotes. Each community overwhelming voted to merge under c/PlayStation. Since then it has been smooth sailing.

    I left the previous community open (with a pinned post explaining the merge) for people to use if they want to, but so far everyone migrated no problem.

    Currently I am only subbed here since I don’t want double posts, but I am for the merge and will easily just sub to the new community.
