unfortunate timing on your part. We've been getting hit with spam accounts/posts for over a week since someone on voat got a crush on someone here. We're just trying to finish building some stuff before we got too exposed. We are far from ready to make promises to users about features.
figure out what kind of site this is and/or is going to be
It's a private site with no promises of what it may be. The site was built as a learning tool and we have a few months of hosting left. If it get's too expensive to run or we get bored, we'll shut it down and burn the data. I've had stuff promised to me for years with no delivery from these kind of sites. I wanted to see if we could do it ourselves or maybe eventually do it differently.
We have no intention of selling user data or using google ads/tracking. In house ads or merch will come later to extend our hosting if people keep asking for it.
I have my doubts about that. Pure speculation of course but this was no small part of why I created that particular sub, to see the reaction from admins and try to figure out what kind of site this is and/or is going to be. I've had a belly full of the bullshit you find on the aforementioned sites. The timing on this is very suspect.
Is there a page that explains some of the workings of this site, eg.. how one reaches different levels, how voting works and the effect it has on accounts, a 'mission statement'... other?
