      That's a whole other conversation that we should actually hash out in another thread, but I agree.

      We don’t have to confine the entire website to one community. That’s such a counterproductive take. Why can’t we have communities that discuss particular topics through a leftist lens? We've raised like close to $2000 for various causes through organizing content into the mutual aid comm and making that sort of thing easily accessible for people, if we went back to just main it'd just be shit posts and any kind of effort like that would be drowned out. Look at the trans comm, there is a slew of reading material directly in the side bar, pinned educational posts, and I envision it being a place for trans people to shit post and further educate people. Why can't something like that exist? Why do we have to go back to the shitty subreddit where everything is post dumped into a single place when we can use these tools to better help educate?

        We don’t have to confine the entire website to one community.

        We don't have enough users to be "confined." We barely have enough users for one community as it is. The problem is that you think that a 150k user community and a 1k user community can be reasonably managed the same way and with the same philosophy, and that just simply is not the case.

              This. There is a commonly known 90-9-1 rule in community management. I've seen this trend play out on every single community I've ever been involved with on the side where you can see the data.

                If we ban posts and comments like I've been saying we need to we can widely expand the userbase that engages fully with the site.

                  Didn't Digg try that to recover their site?

          And your critique on the rest of the stuff we've managed to do through the use of individual comms that would normally be drowned out if we all post vomitted on main?

            I literally made same post on Main and Mutual Aid. The one on main got way more upvotes and exposure. The one on mutual aid got almost nothing.

            Raising money: Easily done through pinned posts. Literally no reason this needs to have an entirely separate forum.

            Reading material in the sidebars / educational posts: Easily done through pinned posts, regular posts (which would get popular and wouldn't just be drowned out by shitposts) or by implementing any sort of wiki / reading material list into the site. Raddle has solved this issue and that site fucking sucks. https://raddle.me/wiki
