Niche communities:

Niche instances:

[email protected] (empty, but on a topic-specific instance)
[email protected] (one-way Reddit bridge, serves a different purpose)

My hunch in this case would be to leave the niche communities and instances as they are, and consolidate the rest to lemmy.zip (most active users).

Thoughts?

I think r/realtesla and r/teslamotors arose from an anti-tesla vs. tesla-fanboy divide on Reddit. I'm not really seeing the same sort of divide on Lemmy. Do you think there is still a need for two separate communities?

Would you be open to consolidating?

I'm interested in a consolidation but I feel like c/RealTesla still serves as a useful signpost from Reddit.

Due to the asshole moves from Elon Musk recently, the Reddit /r/RealTesla has seen incredible growth, to the point where I've been recalled to Reddit as a moderator.

From a Lemmy perspective, it makes sense to consolidate. But from an overall internet (ie: with Reddit perspective), the split is important as the Elon fanboys are still out there and more rabid than ever.

Honestly, with how open Elon is about being an asshole, there isn't much point to /r/RealTesla. When it began back in the 2010s, it was the only place where Elons douchbaggery could be discussed. Today, it's no longer a secret that Elon is a liar, conman, cheat, and asshole.

Thank you for chiming in

From a Lemmy perspective, it makes sense to consolidate.

Glad to hear that you're open to consolidation! Do you think lemmy.zip would be a suitable? It's a stable and well-managed instance, and already has an active Tesla community.
