there is an active poster on !privacy@programming.dev
!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is mostly me and @cm0002@lemmy.world
I think it would be beneficial to consolidate on one community rather than crosspost content from one to the other

I tried to reach out to the active poster, who posted to the lemmy.dbzer0 community in the past before switching back to programming.dev, and I guess they disagree with some of the stances of dbzer0 (probably the pro AI one)

Programming.dev has a few hiccups from time to time, but for a few months it has been stable

What do people think?

Exactly, I struggle to see why we should destroy the community that already seems healthy enough for a poster who didn't even respond to the DM.

I'm not even pro AI myself, but I find it silly to consolidate/quit a community over it when there's literally no AI content there anyway (also, pro-AI rules aren't even enforced on the dbzer0 version, I couldn't care less about anti/pro AI sentiment.)

The community is only as active as regular posters are.

If I or @cm0002@lemmy.world switch to the programming.dev community, over time it will become more active than the dbzer0 version

As I said elsewhere, I'm just tired of not being able to have a single community as an alternative to .ml

Also, it's not about destroying a community, merely locking it. You can reopen it later if issues happen with the programming.dev one
