Cities Skylines Consolidation (lemmy.zip)

We have three (major) communities around Cities Skylines (there is also another 3 or 4 completely dead ones):

I am not in any way getting involved with ML, they can do whatever they want.

But perhaps there needs to be a level of consolidation between the LW and ZIP communities.

@benjikuu@lemmy.world (mod doesn't seem be using Threadi anymore) @cm0002@lemmy.zip

I know cm0002 cross-posts (in an automated fashion) ML content to the non ML versions (most of which have far more engagement and are starting to overtake the ML ones in subs too).

I am good with whatever, I would prefer a single non-ML comm if I do post stuff about Skylines (which to be honest I haven't played in a long time, but I do like reading about developments on their end).

One of my alts is on .zip. I was unaware we had bots that do not mark themselves and are unobtrusive. Can you show me some examples? (Genuine ask, not me trying to say "you're wrong" in the most passive-aggressive way)

That may have been a misconception on my part (see the other replies to my comment). I did have another look recently and it doesn't seem nearly as bot-heavy as I remember. Again, it may just have been an unconscious bias I had. But I remember - maybe back when there was less activity on there, we're talking at least a year ago - it being dominated by bot posts and automated uploads/crossposts, e.g. ZippyBot etc. So it may well have been an old bias I held from back when it was a smaller instance. Btw I never said the bots were unmarked.

TL;DR: Mentally I shoved that instance into the same basket as lemmit.online, however that no longer seems to be the case.

No worries! If you want to have look at humans on .zip: https://lemmy.world/post/39773698?scrollToComments=true
