What's the value in duplicating existing communities?
So that if LW or ML go down there are other communities. The fediverse is supposed to be decentralized. If everyone only follows coms on the big servers then what’s the the point? Also LW and ML mods and admins have their own ideologies that don’t suite everyone. Decentralization prevents this.
In the end I just enjoy selfhosting and wanted to host some of my own.
I find that many communities with the same name fragments users. Then posters try to post to every community with the same name which produces duplicate posts that fragment conversation. The two noncredibledefense communities are a good example of this, as are the half dozen parenting and dads communities.
It's a lousy user experience.
