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 think keeping admin involvement in the sweet-zone will get a lot harder if/when the site grows. Just at Voat's scale, having that many needy users emotionally involved with the website has to be a major drain. The number of admins seems more flexible here than voat, which will help a little.
