Thanks! Was definitely hoping to eventually have a strategy community to lurk in. Interested in the genre but do not know enough to feel comfortable aiding in their revival past an obvious strategy game post that comes across my feed once in awhile, or their consolidation.

Sounds good. @unchartedsectors@lemm.ee, are you planning to grow !strategy@lemmy.world ?

If yes you can probably create Meta posts on the other inactive communities to inform people that !strategy@lemmy.world is being revived

Wait why? I thought we were trying to consolidate away from lemmy.world because it's the biggest and we want to help others grow to its size, and there are lots of strategy communities not on .world. The other listed ones seem specific to subgenres, but !strategygames@sopuli.xyz is general and not .world.

(I have no beef with .world aside from it being the biggest when we're trying to shoot for decentralization, in which case 20 big instances to choose from is much better than 1 big instance and a few medium and a bunch of small ones—if you strike down a big one, which situation leaves the most servers and content for everyone? It's not .world's fault and I have no animosity towards them. Just happens that they are the biggest so they really do not need any help right now.)

I agree. I live in the US, and while I love my country, the current situation shows how bad it is to have 1 giant player who influences everyone else.

I'm in favor of consolidating things away from lemmy.world. No offense to that instance, but centralization is a threat to the fediverse.
