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.

I figure they are there to keep things working and ad features. Not really expecting admins to moderate things.

Some admins are here to moderate default subs (at least those that don't have mods) and to enforce the TOS when possible. I am here to phuk around, keep the site running and add features

phuks does a great job keeping things working and trying new things, it’s appreciated by me.
