For insisting in creating a new community instead of collaborating on an existing one, even when I invited them to be a moderator.

You can do whatever you want to, OP.

Of course, do whatever you want. A reasonable explanation would be nice, though.

Surely you are just trolling now.

I’m asking why OP decided to create yet-another nba community instead of joining efforts on an existing one, and you are acting like the answer is too obvious for you to explain.

That does not explain anything. You could have posted this on nba.space as well.

just reality

I don’t understand what you are trying to imply. Care to explain?

I am yet to hear a reasonable argument against !nba@nba.space.

community-funded

Community underfunded. What the community is giving out barely covers the cost of the hardware, much less the labor of the admins.

Last year I considered offering accounts via a Caffe Sospeso on Communick, but it quickly became clear that is was going to suffer from the tragedy of the commons. Everyone that was willing to bear the actual operating costs would prefer to run their own servers to serve themselves, and the ones that were asking for “community supported” accounts were overwhelming just interested in free-riding.

I agree with your diagnosis, but I disagree with your treatment. You are doing the same mistake I did when I implemented content mirroring on alien.top: you are putting out so much automated “content” that outsiders will look at this and think the community is just a place for you to dump links.

Also, please drop the main character syndrome and the “Reddit agent” paranoia. You have multiple people here telling you that your approach is harmful to the groups that are already here. It’s not a conspiracy. Reddit doesn’t care about you.
