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.

YES! It's not easy but I really want to work towards that.

I say it's not easy because I've previously tried to automate @PMYA, but I couldn't take the weird fetishes out of the resulting AI.

aaand this is where we have problems. Our hosting provider forces us not to allow "Posting content of any kind that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group of people because of their belonging to a race, religion or nation." which imo is not easy to clearly define/enforce, at least for me

We use TeamCity with Octopus deploy where I work. As a matter of fact, I'm setting up my first integration, test, and deployment workflow right now.

towards one person or a group of people

What if it's two people or two groups at the same time? /s

You have a host, the host is a company. They have rules. You have to follow those rules. The only way around that is to either buy your own server and host yourselves or host with a company that's dodgy and sketchy because they don't care.

That's not to say that you necessarily want to allow such materials but the point is that you don't even have the choice. It's taken away from you. Microsoft and Gab ring any bells?
