First of all, thanks for starting it. Hopefully we get some interesting discussions going.
- Why did you decide to start this community?
- Where did you find the logo and banner art?
- Are you planning on being the moderator and have you ever moderated something before?
- To make lemmy more interesting to new users coming from reddit. I’m a copycat. I use what worked before. I want lemmy to keep its new user after the blackout.
2.Stolen from stock images on google. I just screenshot the images from random google image searches. If that cause problem, I will get free images later. I just wanted to make the c/ more attractive very fast.I created the community on my job in 10 seconds. Couldn’t wait, this whole lemmy experience is fascinating.
- I would like to moderate. But I have to think a lot about rules and ethic of mods. I have been subject of mods powertrip and I want to create mechanisms to counter balance mods power. I did not like reddit because contrary to what some thinks, it is not democratic. I think we should have a mod system similar to IRL with jury, right to appeal and check and balance on moderator. Also sub rules that can be changed by vote. And mods that can be changed by votes. I understand the importance of mod to filter hate and ToS problems, but I hate mod powertriping and tribalism. I was a mod on a very small leftist political party with less than 40 members. I don’t think that counts.
What do you do for advertising the community to get people to join it?
Reference the /c/ on listing /c/ and references on other thread, but the later is more difficult without being annoying or seen has spam because AMA is so broad subjects . The best way is to get referred on info’s panel of friendly communities.
If the mods of /r/AMA wanted to help out, how would you integrate them with this community’s team?
I would let them mod immediately. I would have some video chat to talk. Probably , I would let him admin.
