I think it's a very good idea, and I can't see any obvious disadvantages except, perhaps, the loss of posting and comment history from the currently existing communities.
Maybe also consider merging !foodporn@lemmy.world ? That one seems to be quite general too, and posts often become discussions of how to cook the showcased dish (plus I really dislike the name of the community).
Miso, Marmite, MSG, and Maggi are all good.
Not all at once, though.
I have a Xerox colour laser printer that I'm very happy with: accepts off-brand toner, speaks postscript, good quality printing, no problems at all. I've also been very happy with Brother laser printers in the past.
Swot is a venerable and frequently used word, derived from the word sweat. Neek is what's current with my children's generation (South London): it's a portmanteau of nerd and geek, apparently. Spod may well be regionally and temporally specific, as it's what I used to be called in SW England in the 1980s.
These kinds of insults definitely exist here in the UK too, e.g., swot, spod, as well as geek, neek, nerd, etc. I don't think these are imported from the US, as they've been around for a long time. Perhaps a manifestation of anglo-saxon anti-intellectualism?

I'm not the OP, but I have an example from two days ago posting to a community hosted on feddit.uk:
My comment is https://lemmy.world/comment/1718032, which is present for lemmy.world, but not for feddit.uk
I haven't posted any comments since, so I don't know if it's a one-off thing.
Beehaw's defederation of lemmy.world doesn't seem to be involved in this one.
This opinion looks a little question-begging to me: do all businesses who declare these kinds of things do so as branding? I myself, don't believe they do as many would be doing so for advocacy for minority groups, for example.
Thank you for this brilliant transcription. It's as good as the image itself.
Ian's Shoelace Site has 25 different ways to tie your laces. I've been using the eponymous Ian knot for years.
Spinney is a nice word for a smallish gathering of trees, alongside copse, coppice, etc. I'm not aware of a term for one specifically in an open field, though.
