    amazing.

    1. some alternative community using the name ‘superstonk’ is operated by a user with ‘mein kampf’ in their username.
    2. in conclusion, we will not tolerate the mention of any alternative communities at all.

    this is hilarious and completely unsurprising.

    the good thing is that it doesn’t even matter. the community isn’t stupid, most people will be able to see right through this behavior as unjustifiably heavy handed

    enough people are already aware about alternative communities that the growth of such alternatives, such as this lemmy instance, will continue to happen naturally.

      Due to the unfortunate risk of escalating tensions, please limit content in this community to factual record. Please do not include commentary on presumed motivations, intentions, shillery, name-calling, etc. Thank you!

      That’s begs a question about this server. Does it make sense to have something like an “AcrossTheApeiverse” community here specifically for crossposting ape content from other platforms/servers?

      It would represent the exact opposite of gatekeeping and maybe help this Lemmy server become the go-to home for apes.

        We could definitely have a community focused on crossposts - but I’m not seeing the advantage to that as opposed to users simply crossposting into the community here which is most aligned with the topic of the initial post?

          Yeah that’s the better idea. Just wanted to highlight the idea that we may benefit from proactively aggregating ape-related content as opposed to being another silo. That may have already been implied, though.
