8. These are some of the goals we had in mind when launching the site. Please provide a rating from 1 to 5 of how well you believe the site has accomplished these goals. 1 is the least successful. 5 is the most successful. Feel free to provide commentary after your rating. The goals are, in no particular order:
   • Create an online space which would preserve as much social momentum from r/ChapoTrapHouse as possible following the ban of the subreddit
   • Ensure the space was welcoming to marginalized voices and identities
   • Provide resources which aid in organization efforts
   • Foster a culture which allowed for leftist education and discussion
   • Allow users to use the site as a positive outlet for their mental health
   • Contribute to the open source community generally and to the fediverse specifically
   • Encourage privacy of our users by default and create a culture which values basic opsec
   • Experiment with what modern social media could look like outside of corporate control
   • Minimize sectarianism and make a robust case for left unity
   • Make sure the space is a fun and less habit-forming experience than corporate social media
9. Please add any additional comments below, including any relevant context about yourself or specific issues you with to discuss:

I was one of the original admins for the site. I was in the dev server prior to launch and was involved with the inner workings of the admin team for the site’s first year.

I’m looking to put a tidy little bow on this chapter of my life by doing a post-mortem of it. That means I want to hear from people here; Lurkers, newgang, casuals, and PoWEr pOStErs alike. I want to hear anything, good or bad, from the serious all the way to the inconsequential.

I’m particularly interested in people who haven’t felt well represented by the admin team or by the site’s more active userbase. If you’ve ever had an issue with the site that you haven’t felt able to voice, now’s as good a time as any.

Nope. If they don’t like me doing it they’ll remove the post and I’ll let it be. If they see any results, it’ll be in the same way y’all do: in a post on the site.

Edit: it appears the post has been featured, but this answer still stands

I’d prefer site DMs from active accounts, but feel free to send me messages from throwaways, comment on the post, or fill out the SurveyMonkey survey

I may share a summary of my findings in a post, but I will not be sharing copies of the surveys and will not be quoting any of them verbatim without asking first.
