I like alcohol. That doesn’t mean every bar should merge into one big bar. Sometimes, despite two identical themed bars serving the same drinks and having similar clientele, you can have a cracking time in one and a shit time in the other.
Sometimes, that’s due to the staff (or mods in terms of Lemmy), sometimes, that’s due to particularly fun customers being in that day, and sometimes it’s just your mood on the day.
Having multiple communities for the same topic is a feature, not a bug. It also prevents a community from being strangled by 1 or 2 bad mods as another community can be made in response. Unlike the Reddit model, where there is 1 community for 1 topic, and if it has bad mods, well, you’re shit out of luck.

Even one of the most revered OG dictators who willingly gave up his power after just 16 days was still an asshole.

That’s how we do it! That worked, thank you 😁
They’ve done a lot of exploration, though. I worked on some of the kit that went there. It came back pretty beat up, so it’s rough out there, but there’s plenty of oil.
New oil extractions were halted in the North Sea for a while, not extracting it doesn’t mean much. It just means it’s not been deemed profitable enough yet.
