Should we switch the default privacy community from [email protected] to [email protected] ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello everyone,

I raised the point recently already, but to make it short

there is an active poster on [email protected]
[email protected] is mostly me and @[email protected]
I think it would be beneficial to consolidate on one community rather than crosspost content from one to the other

I tried to reach out to the active poster, who posted to the lemmy.dbzer0 community in the past before switching back to programming.dev, and I guess they disagree with some of the stances of dbzer0 (probably the pro AI one)

Programming.dev has a few hiccups from time to time, but for a few months it has been stable

What do people think?

The community is only as active as regular posters are.

If I or @[email protected] switch to the programming.dev community, over time it will become more active than the dbzer0 version

As I said elsewhere, I'm just tired of not being able to have a single community as an alternative to .ml

Also, it's not about destroying a community, merely locking it. You can reopen it later if issues happen with the programming.dev one
