There are two fairly active communities with almost identical topics:

The community on ml is named "crows" but its scope includes "crows, ravens, and other corvids".

Taking into account the community names, overlapping topics, instance size, and other issues with ml, might we consider consolidating towards sopuli.xyz?

Paging !corvids@sopuli.xyz moderator @johan_kontant@sopuli.xyz.

How would you feel about a potential influx of posters and commenters? Would you be open to adding Mechanismatic to the mod team?

Also paging recent contributor @cm0002@lemmy.world for their thoughts.

Paging !crows@lemmy.ml moderator @Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml. I think I messaged you a few days ago, but I'm not sure if it federated.

Would you be open to consolidating this community with !corvids@sopuli.xyz?

Also paging recent contributors @I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world, @Morph9@lemmy.zip, @NightCreature@lemmy.world, and @Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone for their thoughts.

@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml

Not sure if you've seen this yet. We would appreciate your input.

Nobody asked me, but you guys, calling for the crows community to move off of ml don't actually give a fuck about crows, you just started to create fake traffic in the sopuli community to please your real interest: computers, fediverse and instance beef.

Mechanismatic is an awesome poster who put a lot of dedication posting original crow content into the crows community for years, the sopuli one was completely dead up until you guys apparently came up with the idea to create some fake traffic two weeks ago. As far as i checked zero original content either but a bunch of stuff just pulled the ml community. Absolutely hate to see it.

Mechanismatic, keep doing your thing please, wherever you want to, you're the man.

@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml

Multiple people have now pinged you in this thread. We would be interested in hearing your perspective on this.

[-] bonjour@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

What's your fedipolice number, officer?

Why wouldn't he want to move to this dead community, where you guys just stole his and other people's content from their community to pretend activity for two weeks while he build the community up on his own for years and it is actually coming along? This is how you treat grass roots community builders?

I was a contributor to crows too btw, i don't want to move to your dead comm just so can wank yourself to sleep over your fedipurity fantasies. And the way you are setting this up with shameless lies about activity and disrespect for their efforts is just disgusting.

Hello,

Please be less agressive when expressing disagreement. I suggest you to edit this comment. You're free to disagree, but no need to attack people like you do.

[-] DerPlouk@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Please be less agressive when expressing disagreement.

On the contrary, I am glad that someone finally gets to calls you, your two-faced clique, and your manipulations for what you are.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

By two-faced clique, you mean people trying to grow communities on this platform?

Feel free to present any issues with the consolidation proposals

[-] bonjour@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Thanks man. I am disgusted at what they are doing here. I have noticed similar stuff before, but not brazenly just reposting content from the OG community they want to see go. Absolutely shameless.

[-] bonjour@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Hello

Goodbye

I was a contributor to crows too btw

I respectfully note that your account is only 6 days old, has zero posts, and has commented exclusively in this thread.

[-] bonjour@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

That is so very respectful of you, thank you. While i could not find a single post of you or your Claquers in there either, i notice that you have started funneling stolen content from the bad crows comm into your just as active corvid comm. What great guys you are.

[-] Catoblepas 6 points 1 week ago

I am neutral and will post wherever is most active

Thanks for your input!

I would just like to note that using the algorithm of "posting wherever is most active" will usually result in consolidating to the largest instance, which is not ideal for the health of the fediverse as a whole.

[-] Catoblepas 3 points 1 week ago

While true, nobody really wants to post to a dead community either, you know? Sort of a self-perpetuating problem.

True, though sometimes all it takes to grow a community is one or two users posting consistently. And in this case, both communities have a similar level of activity.

[-] bonjour@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

The disrespect. Unbelievable.

@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml it is so nice to see that !crows@lemmy.ml has a few more regular posters now! The actual crow community on the lemmyverse!
