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.

Anything that can be automated should be. Continuous integration, testing, deployment.

Anything that requires a personal hand or eye should have a backup admin for.

Anything policy and use should be governed by a clearly define set of rules with no exceptions made.

These things are non-negotiable. Anything less is negligence or arrogance.

I like your thoughts.

This is a good way of having admins be apart of the community socially but still have check and balances.

I also got curious about this question observing poal yesterday. Very attentive admins, almost a little off putting to me. That’s somewhat of an asshole thing for me to say and I don’t mean that I think what they’re doing is wrong, it was just different to me.
