Sorry if this has been asked before, but now that we are on the .win network, is there a reason these two are still separate things?

I think it's good to have both, and hopefully the mods can put down the pitchforks now that reddit threatening to ban people over false flag user bullshit is gone.
I think there is merit to the approach of the KIA mods, though I haven't always agreed with their exact actions. I think there is merit to the approach of the KIA2 mods, though I haven't always agreed with their exact actions. Hopefully both can agree it's better that both exist.
I made an "olive branch" post to KiA2 on reddit, which went about as well as I expected because people want to eat sleep and breathe outrage rather than see what I was actually saying. We are not banning anyone from there preemptively, including people who had been banned on KiA reddit previously. Everyone gets amnesty, they just have to not be dicks about it when they come here. Funnily enough there are at least two people in this very thread who had been banned (temp or perma) from KiA that are being chill right now.
We have banned exactly one KiA2 user so far, who went full retard in his first comment here, making a "Hitler did nothing wrong" comment. I don't care where anyone is from, that kind of shit does not fly here, and would probably have been removed and the user banned on KiA2 reddit, too.
I belong to both communities on Reddit, and both communities on .win. Your alleged "olive branch" was full of snark. You were probablly thinking of the KiA2 members you banned from KiA1 when you posted it, but most members of KiA2 are there because of a non-inflamatory preference for their moderation style (i.e. a broader view of relevant topics) and have never been banned from KiA1. Telling those users they have "a second chance" is condescending.
Which is entirely your right to do so under KiA2 rules.
See, that's the problem with trying to read intent in something. You will almost always get it wrong. There was no snark in that, but I sure as fuck was tired when I wrote it, as I had just dealt with nearly 12 hours straight of getting this site up and running, dealing with the fallout of the admin sitewide decision, making sure people who had to do their parts to get this site functional had done their parts, all while getting a ton of PMs/DMs from folks worried about retroactive enforcement by the admins in regards to the rule change.
No, that is certainly a part of the community there, but you cannot say "most" when most of the population there, especially the increased active users, are folks who came in well after the split and have had little or no participation on KiA itself.
