      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.

        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?

            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

                somehow we got by just fine on old chapo with a maximum of 2 pinned posts

                are you saying that on this new site we are going to fail to solve a problem that we had solved just fine on reddit

                You just pinned a post today and yesterday to help out users. What are you talking about?
