    I don’t see how agglomerating vuew of all same name communities for the user impact you as a server owner ?

    You still have totalitarian control over everything happening on your server.

    You can still

    Delete all post and comments

    Change any text in any post or comment even if made by other users and without their notice

    Ban any user

    Ban any community

    Even ban all users and all communities (whilte only model)

      I must’ve read your comment wrong. Sounds like you just want a multi Reddit type feature? I agree that that should be implemented some apps have already did it. I don’t agree that the same word community should be lumped together universally and automatically.

        No multireddit cannot solve this problem.

        They are not a default agglomeration view so they will never make a difference as most users never change their defaults.

        Covered in more details here

        A community cannot escape the stranglehold of moderators with a multireddit, because most users will simply not have it the backup community setup in their multireddit. They will never see dissenters posting in the backuos. And that makes multireddit largely useless

            It’s an hypothetical community, so they’re hypothetical moderators/owners. I’m not sure how to respond to “who are they”.

            They’re some bad hombrés…

              Your argument through all of this is bad moderators controlling the largest communities so I’m wondering how what you’re saying fixes any of that.

                Makes communities other than the one big one visible to nonlogged and default users without extra steps.

                In effect this makes all communities global by default.
