Can we do something about all these communities that are exactly the same in all but name? There’s no reason to have 15 communities about bdsm or Latex fetish or fuckin FUTA/trans.
I’m not hating on anyone’s preferences but we shouldn’t have multiple communities that have the exact same content but with a dumb twist to the name.
We’re not actively destroying redundant communities unless one gets abandoned by a moderator or has zero posts for more than a few days while the other comm is active. Otherwise, we welcome the diversity of viewpoints and interests that multiple comms provide.
That said, if communities with similar interests want to join, we’re happy to nuke the one that doesn’t need to continue.
But what about when multiple comms consist of the exact same content? Same creators, same pictures, same everything? I get how having multiple comms leads to pruning and fully fledged communities it just seems to me that the footholds have already been made. You can search for something and already see which are most popular.
I understand the purpose of niche communities but at the moment they share the same names as the commonplace communities which leads to confusion and annoyance.
I hear you, but admins aren’t going to pick winners and losers between similar, active communities unless one is being obviously shitty and abusive. If the mods of the respective communities can reach an accord, great. If not, diversity of expression is healthy!
Fair enough. Thank you for the informative response. I replied to you only because I felt you’d have the best response and I was not let down.
Although I still have my gripes I understand enough to hold them back now.
