Here’s something I have been thinking about today. It came from voat going down yesterday and looking at some of the other options out there for those voaters who were displaced.

I personally like the level of admin involvement here. It’s the perfect mix for me.

We know what it looks like when a site has zero involvement with the community (voat/putt)

I’m curious, do you guys think sites like phuks, voat, poal, etc can be over moderated by admins? Do you think the admins should have a somewhat stand off approach until needed?

Just a curious thought.

Edit: do we have a casual conversation sub? This might fit that sub and my other thoughts better as I’m just looking for some light conversation. I can’t access the sub key on mobile.

Thanks for your thoughts, well put.

I liked that Putt, to me, seemed nonpolitical. I dont remember seeing him in the hate subs. The admins on poal seem very vocal with some of their hate. And hey that’s their choice, theirs is a free speech site. But does that blur the lines a little if the admins political/religious/bias are so easily transparent?

Not that I've seen on Paol. I'm openly anti-hate nonsense and have stated it many times on Poal. I'm not vocal about it, if someone wants to rant, that's their business, I just don't partake and ignore what I choose to ignore, just as I do everywhere. You can't change someone in a place like that ... so why waste your breathe. Be that as it may, Poal's admins created that forum so that the rules permitted more than Phuks allows, for those who felt shut out here. So each, though similar, have their quirks. But all in all, though I disagree with them on some of the nonsense, Poal's admins are basically fair minded and take good care of the place. I prefer Phuks, but I have no heartburn with Poal ... nor have I ever had a problem with their admins who are reasonable, though opinionated.

Interesting thoughts.

I find poal isn’t for me but that’s the joy of the internet there are a number of places to hang. And like the phuks and poal admins if I can’t find what I’m looking for, I can shut up and make it myself.

True enough. Like I said, it's there dime, if I don't like it, I'm free to leave.
