Forcibly merging communities that exist on completely different websites just because they run the same, or even just similar, software continues to scream "I want centralization".

The "merging" in Proposal 3 would be mutually opt-in by community moderators, not forced.

It sounds like community pruning is the better solution here. Users don't need to find dead remote communities in their search results.

Who gets to determine if a community is dead or not? That seems like a form of centralization.
