    hahaha, interesting, thanks for the questions!

    do we really a whole community for that?

    Why not.

    It is just another new community like many on lemmy.

    What do you want to talk about it there?

    People can talk about SponsorBlock and the like.

      I honestly do not get it. Look at the pinned post: “Creating a new community is easy, but to get people on board, you need to create some content.”

      Please, let’s not get into this habit of creating communities without having any clear purpose. It only makes things look even deader than they already are.

        TIL, people follow that rule.

        I try to keep my communities active, not sure you can say that about the others though.

        It’s because OP is a tankie — possibly a Russian operative — trying to build as many communities to moderate on lemmy as they can, so they can post propaganda in an echo chamber, ban users for wrongthink, and control the narrative.
