My gaming guild did this(100+ people), moving from Discord over to a new platform called Guilded, which recently received 7 million in funding! You're always going to get a push back from your community, and it will definitely neuter a lot of potential newcomers and traffic for a while. A dedicated community built surrounding itself and it's interest/hobby will always prevail through a push back, as long as you have that internal support. I wish your transition the best of luck!

Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games
Account Link ParentI think it's exactly that. You get what you put into the game, it doesn't feed you excitement from my understanding with the first area. I'll start it up again, it's been many months.I think it's exactly that. You get what you put into the game, it doesn't feed you excitement from my understanding with the first area.

I understand it's a great game, from word of mouth and reviews; yet I struggle to leave the first area. It's weird. Like, I enjoyed the 2 hours I've had with it... I just can't find myself to start the game up. Weird.

Comment on Daily Tildes discussion - more details about handling removed posts in ~tildes.official
Account Link ParentI was under the impression that this was your username, not your real name. I've met people on here called ducks for instance. Obviously if I were to ever meet you in person I would refer to you...In my culture, addressing someone by their surname to their face is impersonal and sometimes rude ("Mr Asimov" would be respectful, but just "Asimov" is rude in my culture). You wouldn't call me "Asimov" to my face
I was under the impression that this was your username, not your real name. I've met people on here called ducks for instance. Obviously if I were to ever meet you in person I would refer to you as either of what you've already mentioned. Nevertheless this is the internet, if you have an issue with people referring to you as "Asimov" online, I would suggest picking a username that wouldn't offend you when referred to it. I hold no ill will towards you Algernon, have a great day/night. I look forward to the next time we chat

Account Link ParentCorrect! Nor do I want to be. I've been on reddit for maybe 4 or 5 years now, but mostly ever lurk. I'm thinking with Tildes I actually be apart of the community this time, and contribute to it....You've obviously never been a moderator on Reddit! :)

Comment on How will moderation on existing groups work? in ~tildes
Account Link ParentI agree with this 100%. Someone can just grind themselves into a position where they can ban a user they don't like.I feel like that promotion system (reputation that is automatically gained) can be taken advantage of and abused by someone with bad intentions.

I've spent enough time on 4chan to know that its UI can't compete with ease as Reddit does. I can't speak for Voat or 8chan though, but I'm assuming it's pretty close to what I've mentioned, as I really have never come across someone recommending to another that those sites are "where its at", so to speak.
This place really doesn't need to have porn. I just want a place to discuss random topics
Exactly. When/if this site grows, and more user-created groups are made, there will definitely be porn dedicated ones, whether it's allowed or not, people will try to get it in here. I don't necessarily have an issue with that(power to the people), I just don't come to this site looking forward to seeing a pair of triple D breasts launch across my monitor straight into my face.

I'd like this place to be somewhere where I'm encouraged to engage in discussion, and for it to help me with my writing. I need a hobby so hopefully I can start like a Youtube channel discussing this platform or make video content for here.

Now that I am reviewing my comment I can see the flaw in my statement. @Deimos had mentioned giving users a "trust" score/rating, and maybe he could implement that in a way to benefit self-promoters and hopefully, ourselves.
