MODERATORS
 

Dealing with the same old questions from people who don’t get us was one of the hardest things about the other site. At one point, it was easier to create a rule against them, than it was to foster communication and awareness.

Here though, we have the flexibility of creating extra communities. How do we feel about a ask@rblind.com community to support a “there are no wrong questions” attitude?

It would still be moderated, of course, but it would let people decide whether or not they want to engage in this outreach, if you will.

Would ask and surveys be different? Or would we not create surveys? Or if they are different, how would we articulate that difference?

I think of ask as a mostly unstructured and laid-back experience. Surveys would be hyper-structured and have an approval process.

What I really wish is that we could move other people's posts. I don't think outsiders would remember to post to ask if it's just a laid back question. For a researcher, I don't feel bad about nuking the post and making them repost in the correct community. But for ask, that maybe feels a bit much? In an ideal world Lemmy would just give us tools to move posts from one community to another, assuming both communities are on the same instance.

I wonder if one of the auto mod type things will do something like that… Gotta look into them either way.
