I know I can’t say a lot since I’ve only been here for a day? And it takes time to get integrated into a community.
But already, there’s just- lots of people. There’s lots of friend groups as well, both IC and OOCly. That’s not a bad thing, but when people start getting excluded, then it becomes bad. People don’t /know/ when they’re being cliquey, so I don’t entirely blame the community.
Personally, I think you guys are a nice bunch. There’s just so so many people and it can be hard to be heard over all of the voices. It’s like funneling characters and plots down a tube, and it can become quite cramped and therefore people just might pick and choose who they pay attention to (another reason why BoB needs to work on dividing activity between all four groups). Things do get a little hectic with a bunch of friends in one place, so I’ve been simply observing instead of taking part in the discord for now.
I did have to mute the plotting channel yesterday though. That’s just because a group of people were plotting between themselves and I couldn’t really find a way to... jump in? And I was sort of intimidated tbh. Again, it’s not their fault. People can get carried away.
As for the extra plotting channel, I’m torn on it. On one hand, it could help with dividing up discussions so that it’s not a big cluster. But on the other... there really,, /shouldn’t/ be a need for another one? I think it should just be a matter of regulating the original one in the first place. But I’m used to smaller groups, so if you think that a big group like Ascendants needs two plotting channels, then go for it.
But generally speaking, it really is kind of hard to manage a large memberbase, so I know it can be a large job for you, Madi. We just have a lot of people, and we can’t help that? We still want to be mindful about inclusiveness, though.
