The least controversial opinion here is big companies need to stop with acquisitions.
I believe I hold the 2nd least controversial opinion of, mergers suck and all but I really want to like ABK games again, and I sure don’t see them fixing shit on their own. I think their games and company would improve under Microsoft.
…but at this point? Fucking end this charade. It’s obvious too many forces are against it, no matter how much I wanted it to work out.
I kinda get this. It’s not reddit that I need, I just need aggregated links of shit I’m interested in. A “front page” to my internet, so to speak. There are plenty of the smaller communities that don’t yet have much presence here, so I feel a little itch occasionally, but hopefully they’ll start to develop too.
As long as this place continues to grow, it could be really easy to just abandon that old site. I’m trying to contribute and help that process.
Im definitely in that boat. Tying back to the baseball example I searched for communities with the keyword baseball and subbed to the largest. With some other interests I have actually joined multiple of the same communities that are just in different lemmy servers.
I can see pros and cons. More people all at once gives greater odds of some unique perspective to take hold that would otherwise only be seen in a single smaller sub community. But there’s also a more vested interest in the health of “your” community if it’s smaller.
Baseball is a fun example because I’m really sad the biggest group so far has only like 80 subscribers. I NEEEEEED my fix of baseball chatter so I really want that one to grow, lol.
That’s like telling the office that the guy who just died is going to be missing his upcoming meetings.
