MODERATORS
As someone used to Old Internet: how is having multiple communities for similar topics a 'problem'? If you like Overwatch, do you demand that Activision, Steam, and GameFAQs all combine their forums about it? If you like baking, do you demand that all of the hundreds of sites dedicated to it all blob into one? This seems like a very wierd idea to be so definite about.
People are pushing for it because they see the amount of people here as a finite number that shouldn't be spread too thin.
I'm more on the side advocating to get more people here so that we don't worry about how many communities we have on the same topic
I completely agree. Having multiple communities is just the way to keep things democratic.
