looks more like chromeOS than chromeOS lol

Your last sentence is just saying the exact same thing with different words.

For the record, you wouldn’t be able to trademark “unixporn” because “Unix” is a trademark of The Open Group. And a wholly unoriginal name.

It’s really not a misunderstanding if you fail to communicate that at all! Every bit of what you said made it sound like you all swooped in from reddit (given none of the mods I’ve seen have any interactoin with any other lemmy communities) to take over people who were already posting content.

Maybe that’s not what’s happening, which is great! People are obviously confused, so you’re not doing a good job of explaining yourselves or what’s happening in any event.

That’s… not really what I said?

I think having multiple communities about the same subject on different instances can be interesting and potentially good!

I just think in this case there wasn’t really a need to make a new community, when the main difference is a mod team from a different website. The tone of the post struck me as telling the community what to do. I was a little assumptive, I suppose.

I used to mod a subreddit/discord that has already had a couple lemmy communities pop up, so this is something I’ve been talking about with friends for a bit. I’m personally hoping to see moderators of reddit communities making space for new people to run things.

There’s no good reason. There never is, other than the reddit mods wanting control and not wanting to share with those who already built community on Lemmy.
