MODERATORS
Hey, you're being downvoted for what I wanted to comment.
Seriously. We can have a nice space for us and people alike without the need to abide to the same rules the big platform do. I don't have a need for a 1:1 Reddit clone, I would just use Reddit if that's what i was looking for. We don't need to make it about the capitalist need for growth... But nice and growth really aren't the same thing. A few more people would be beneficial, but not by any means... I'd like if we focused on being nice and constructive instead. And do away with the dumping content here to make it seem more active without looking if it also generates engagement. Oh yeah and I'd like moderation and the tools available to get better.
We need content, there's not enough people here to make enough good content yet. We need some growth.
My main point is, we don't need any people, we need the ones generating good content. And the content that people like to engage with. IMHO just dumping the news here doesn't do any good. I have a RSS reader for that. I want to have meaningful discussions. And not with just argumentative people. I think that would be a good incentive for new users to join. Yeah. And we need some more (good) moderators.
