Concerns about the Platform's Direction: Maintaining Quality and Uniqueness

I have been following this platform since it had nearly 500 users and have been a part of its Discord community for over two years. During this time, I have gained valuable insights and developed a deep respect for the kind individuals I have encountered and the meaningful posts that have been shared.

However, I must express my concerns. I am saddened and apprehensive because I do not want this platform to become just another saturated and mainstream platform. Over the past couple of months, I have noticed an increase in posts lacking intellectual or helpful intent and any content that contributes value to the community through insightful discussions. Instead, there is an increasing trend of people engaging in random and polarized political discussions, either directly or indirectly, or simply sharing mainstream articles and seeking opinions on matters of little significance.

Therefore, I kindly request the moderators to consider the quality of the posts.

I hope that this platform does not become or shares the denominator with those which are oversaturated and mainstream, as I have high expectations for its potential.

This is something which is bound to happen with the increase in number of users. Unless the posts are harmful/insensitive the moderators wonโ€™t be doing much because it ultimately increases the engagement on the platform. You cannot stop anyone from posting any random stuff irrespective of whether it adds any value or not. Also itโ€™s a relative term, the same post can be informative to some other person.

This has happened in all other platforms in the past and will happen here as well. This is something which sadly we all have to accept. If you donโ€™t like any post, simply ignore and move on. Thereโ€™s not much you can do.

Yea I donโ€™t mind if mods are merciless in deleting posts and comments here as long as it ensures quality for the existing users. Its for professionals.. so it canโ€™t be too casual and generic

When you try to determine โ€œqualityโ€ of posts, there is huge subjectivity. I think anonymous platforms are meant for any discussion someone wants to have. While I agree that I donโ€™t like every post or every opinion, I canโ€™t control it and the creators of the app shouldnโ€™t try to either unless itโ€™s harming/hurting a majority.
