!mapporn@lemmy.world has been locked down in favor of !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

!starwars@lemmy.world was locked down today in favor of !star_wars@lemmy.world

Are there other communities we should try to consolidate?

Such a shame. Looking at the modlog, the moderator obviously didn't do it maliciously, hence trying to move the discussion to private messages, but ultimately, that kills any traction and prevents the community from coming together to support the idea and discuss important things like funding.

Yes, it's a bit Catch 22. Fortunately, @Blaze@reddthat.com has said I can restart discussion here, as it's a handy place to float to float ideas for new instances to see what the interest might be.
