Hey everyone, friendly neighborhood mod here with a quick question. As this community starts to take shape what are you looking for in it? What kind of things would you like to see posted? What would you not like to see posted?

    How can we contain console war garbage? That would be my biggest suggestion. Right now Reddit PS5/XboxSeriesX subs are basically millions of people pretending they are totally above and too mature to participate in console war nonsense, yet the only posts that gain any traction in a meaningful way are Xbox Vs. Sony posts. Maybe find a balance where major ongoing topics are contained to a weekly thread. So there is a weekly game performance thread, weekly Microsoft/Activision merger thread. Something like that. Otherwise this is just going to be Reddit again in short order.

      Lemmy PS5 mod here. Console warring is not allowed over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5. I’ve had a stray comment or 2 about starfield vs final fantasy, but the community voted it down so I didn’t intervene. If it gets bad I will not hesitate to take action. We are all gamers, and we should all be celebrating gaming. Personally I play on PS5, Switch, and PC/steam deck.

      As for the merger news, articles are allowed to be posted on my community as long as they are playstation related. I think making a discussion thread dedicated to the mergers will have the opposite effect and will cause more issues. As @AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world has mentioned below, the Xbox, Nintendo, and PS5 mods are all friendly and are working to foster great console gaming communities across Lemmy.

          Thanks! I’m trying. We may not catch everything, so if you see content that you don’t like or that is violating the community rules, use that report button to bring it to our attention. As of yet, I’ve had zero reports but I’m sure as we grow there will be issues that arise.

            If there is actually a large influx of people I expect you all will become real busy real quick, haha.

              😂 hopefully only the nice people come. We don’t need everyone from reddit over here.

              Also, I personally think that most people considering Lemmy from the reddit ordeal are likely already over here to some degree. We might not see many more users, but possibly more activity as reddit won’t be an outlet for many anymore. I could be wrong though, only 3 more days until we find out.
