Polling Opinions of Fallout@sopuli.xyz Users (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hello, !fallout@sopuli.xyz, I am a moderator of the !fallout@lemmy.world and !falloutmods@lemmy.world communities, and I wish to ask for the opinions of people who are a part of this community.

Fallout@sopuli.xyz has less than a fourteenth of the users of it's equivalent lemmy.world community, and has had only three posts over the last year.

With this in mind, I am proposing that this community be closed, and redirected towards the larger Fallout community here on Lemmy.

I do agree with the stated purpose of promoting decentralisation on Lemmy, but I have not found this community to meaningfully break away from centralised instances. And in the interest of preventing fragmentation of instances, to the negative effect of both communities, I believe this would be the best course of action.

I do not, however, wish to assert this opinion over others who have more invested in this community than I do. And so, I am asking for feedback from the members of this community. If this post is already locked by the time you see it, reach out to me on my piefed account, @rosahaj@piefed.blahaj.zone, which I check more frequently.

Thank you in advance for your time, and I thank the users of this community for their efforts in building, namely @fraydabson@sopuli.xyz, and CorrodedCranium@leminal.space for founding the community, and their notable activity respectively.

Hey, since you're modding all the other Fallout comms I guess that makes sense. They're not really decentralized anyway if there's one person moderating them all.

Before you close it though, you should see if anyone would step forward to take over this one. That'd be better than outright closing it or leaving it unmoderated, we've all seen what happens to a comm at that point. Otherwise, closing makes sense to me

    One of my main motivations for this post is, just as you said, seeing if anyone else is open to running this community. If the community is locked, I hope any prospective moderators reach out to me as I've outlined in my post, so I don't end up enforcing my own opinion over everyone else. (Future readers, make note of this)

    I've found this community and !fallout@lemmy.world are just about identical in the kind of posts, with the exception of this community having been unmoderated for around two years. And so, I decided getting ahead of any issues before they occur is a good idea. I just thought a courtesy post like this is good form, in case I've made some mistake in my determination.
