More communities in a platform saturated with abandoned communities seems like the worse possible idea.


My golden era was PS2/Xbox 360. The games I have fond memories of playing are the first three Harry Potter games, Gunbound, Lineage 2, Battlefield 2, COD MW 1&2. Since then, I’ve only played Batman: Arkham Asylum, Tomb Raider (2013), Witcher 3 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
People could discuss pretty much anything in old school forums which had only a handful of boards. Now we need millions of communities just because Reddit has them as well, even if there isn’t enough activity to justify them. I feel like the Fediverse already has enough fragmentation issues as it is because of all the similar communities in different instances. Separating niche communities into even more niche ones when those communities are barely active to begin with just doesn’t make sense. At some point we have to ask if the problem is the content or the voting system itself.
