And for those of us that want to use this community instead? Can the modship be passed to someone else?

We will stay as mods and the community is welcome to build this community as they see fit. Ultimately this community voted to merge with c/PlayStation. This wasn't a unilateral decision by the mods. We posted several times to gather feedback from the community.

c/PlayStation was essentially a ghost town. This community was way more active by comparison. The mods over there asked if we wanted to take over and we agreed, in an effort to unify the PlayStation community under one banner.

c/PlayStation will still have all of the PS5 content and be heavily PS5 focused. There wasn't much legacy console talk previously on PlayStation anyway. The change is mostly semantic. Additionally, we may branch out and discuss the brand as a whole or expand to things like The Last of Us TV show discussion threads, or if the Ghost of Tsushima movie comes out. Stuff like that. But rest assured, PS5 content will remain the bulk of content as it is the current gen console.

So we are abandoning a working community for a ghost town. Great, sounds like a solid decision.

Ghost Town meaning the former mods were not posting consistent daily content. Despite that fact, the c/PlayStation community has 1k more subs than c/PS5 does. So you are completely missing the point. All the daily posts that were on c/PS5 (99% of which are posted solely by me) will now be on c/PlayStation. It's not that hard to understand.

Again, the c/PS5 community voted to do this. These people will be following us over there. A few hundred have already subbed to the new community seamlessly, and most were already subbed to both. You act like hitting subscribe on a new community is so difficult. More people care about PlayStation than people who own a PS5. PlayStation (the name) will attract and onboard more people than PS5 will. If you don't agree or don't see that, I can't help you. Sorry.

If you want the content and discussion come join us. It's one button away. Otherwise seed your own PS5 content to c/PS5 to grow it. I left it active for a reason.
