This week c/PlayStation ownership was handed over to the mods of [email protected]. In an effort to concentrate our community building efforts under one umbrella, we are proposing bringing all PS5 content under the broader PlayStation community.

What does this mean for c/PlayStation and c/PS5 subscribers?

• The c/PlayStation community will be a lot more active and will be the core focus of the mods in terms of community building.
• PS5 content will be much more prevalent on c/PlayStation as it is the current gen console. For c/PS5 subscribers worried about PS5 news being suppressed, we do not intend to pull back on the current posting volume of PS5 specific content.
• Topics/discussions on legacy consoles and games will be allowed, but from a news perspective they naturally will not be as much of a focus.
• PS Studios, Movies, and TV shows discussions will be allowed.
• Lower effort content such as show-off posts, screenshots, and technical troubleshooting questions will be allowed, but if they clog op the feed we may begin to segregate them into weekly threads. (Down the line this may be negated if lemmy implements post tag/flair)
• Memes will NOT be allowed at this time. The focus will remain on news and discussions.
• The rules currently enforced on c/PS5 will persist here on c/PlayStation.

Please vote by upvoting one of the two comments below. Downvotes will be ignored as some instances do not allow downvotes.

This post will be pinned for up to 1 week or until consensus is reached

A separate vote post will be made available for c/PS5 subscribers. Only if both communities vote to merge community building efforts will we do so.
