Assert dominance. Create a third one.

Subscribe to both, whenever a post in one is made, copy it to the other to receive that sweet sweet karma

Sorry I’m a bit new to chess so I’m unfamiliar with the rules. Are we at risk of being captured by the knook here?

[–] original_ish_name@latte.isnot.coffee 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

we're both white pieces so we're on the same team (the knook is on a different background because it's a checkered board)

This is Chess, not Checkers. We need a completely different board.

Imagine the shock some people are going to have once they realize they played chess on the wrong board all these years

I once played checkers on a chess board. It works better than the other way around, but it isn't fun

[–] atocci@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering it has the power of both the rook and the knight, we do appear to be in danger in our current position

Not me. I'm on vacation and don't plan on coming back

Well. In a nutshell, this is the whole point with everything being federated. However, it could be a fantastic opportunity to talk to the community mods and come together as one community.

Same thing you'd do if you looked up anarchychess on reddit and found two communities with similar names: join the bigger one. The smaller one will probably die off eventually

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or... crazy idea... join both. It's not like you have a limited amount of subs

[–] lugal@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

This is not schuelerVZ, an early German copy of Facebook, where there was an actual limite for groups.

Anybody remember?
