The idea of creating a new comm to generate discussion on a subject should be abandoned, our numbers are too low for comms to function like subreddits. As comms are right now, they are likely silencing discussion on some subjects. Instead, the line of reasoning behind creating a new sub (or continuing the existence of an old one) should be one of the following:
-
Some users would likely want to not see posts about the topic (doomer, anime, games, veganism, electoralism…)
-
To create a space where marginalized voices are not drowned out by the majority (anti_cishet_aktion, neurodiverse…)
-
Special cases where one might want to look at older posts (mutual_aid, feedback, announcements…)
All other posts should be put in a main comm, which should be named better than chapotraphouse so new users aren’t discouraged from posting.
If communism is so good then how do you explain this one Latvian fascist I know saying it was bad? He tells me all “real Latvians” think like him, a claim that I do not find suspicious at all.
