Possible merge with c/world, thoughts? (lemmy.world)

Over the past week or two, I've been discussing merging this community with c/world. The intents and purposes of both of these communities are essentially the same, and we don't really see a reason to divide that community rather than just put it all under one roof.

We're open to any and all opinions on this, and nothing is set in stone so please feel free to reply candidly.

Please speak up especially if you feel like:

You wouldn't like this for really any reason
You feel this community already serves a different purpose
You feel this community could serve a different purpose, and include what changes you'd like to see to meet that goal.

I work with the head mod of c/world, @[email protected], on c/NFL and talk to him regularly, we're both pretty much on the same page about everything and moderate communities in a similar manner, so if your only reservation would be possible stricter or different moderation, I hope that alleviates some of the concern. All of the mods from here would also be welcome to join over there if we do merge.

I'm fine with this

I’ve been banned twice in c/world because one of the mods doesn’t like my political views, so I vote no. They want an echo chamber, and that’s not how political news works.

Edit: YoBucksStopsHere and JordanLund are great people. It’s not them.

May I ask when you were banned? Because YoBuckStopsHere only recently became the owner of the community, it may have been the prior mods/owners that did it.

They want an echo chamber, and that’s not how political news works.

I whole heartedly agree.

It was 2 days ago. They weren’t the mod when it happened. To be fair, it was technically bannable. But removing the post would have been sufficient.
