"Consolidation" = "keeping just the first"?
If so, I'd say it's good to have alternatives around.
Consolidation in this context means closing one community and redirecting people to another to make one more active. The fediverse is small, and so having niche(r) communities combine into one is often beneficial for them.
Don't know if you are a regular in this community, but such proposals are pretty common (and I will take the liberty of saying cm000, the main poster in the other comm, is even open to such approaches).
Even if we did have say 1 million MAUs, it still makes sense to have some sort of differentiation between communities (rules, regional focus, types of games etc.); currently there is none.
