FOSS/Open Source Games Communities Consolidation (piefed.world)

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.

cm0002 is very odd. I block most every version of his user and I find it hard to believe one person can manage so many user accounts and further moderate so many communities but given they have almost no unique posters that may not be hard. In this case its likely very good the communities are seperate.
