Degrowth as a community topic has somewhat of a problem, in that it is rather limited. Posting about the need to shrink the economy smartly becomes repetitive over time. So I tried to increase the scope of the community a bit by allowing other related topics like UBI, housing cooperatives, worker owned companies and so forth. However I do understand that this might be controversial. So I have a few question to the people intressted in this commuity:
-
Is increasing the scope of the community a good idea?
-
What topics should be offtopic in this community? As in do we allow say discussions about renewable energy, carbon markets and maybe even green stocks. Right now I see a bunch of China economy posts. Are those reasonable?
-
Should I rename the community to reflect a wider scope of discussion? If so what name would be good?
-
How can we make the community more intressting in general? Say topic of the week, more memes or whatever.
-
Where should the moderation line be? No swearing or going for even implied insults.
I would love to get some good feedback and suggestions. Thanks for them in advance.
Please stop removing the word “fuck” like you need to appeal to advertisers.
I do not remove the word “fuck” for the sake of advertising. I remove it, when it is used to insult other people. “Fuck the Cult of Productivity” is fine, but “Fuck who ever thought about the term ‘underconsumption’.” is just an insult to whoever came up with the term.
