Hey everyone,

We have two major FOSS/Open Source games communities:

!foss_gaming@lemmy.world
!OpenSourceGames@programming.dev

The first comm has a lot more subscribers (and more MAUs).

Seems like a perfect candidate for consolidation.

I also am actively avoiding contributing to .world comms after the JL situation handling

Though I've always prioritized smaller instance comms before that, after that whole thing happened now I even make comms if there's no off-world off-.ml equivalent

I am not aware of the "JL situation", but I mind don't switching over to !OpenSourceGames@programming.dev. , so that's what I'll do moving forward.

Honestly, I just want vibrant communities on topics of interest to me that are not tied to US-style commercial social platforms.

The Threadiverse is definitely healthier and more resistant to falling into the same kinds of traps when we spread comms across smaller instances
