    Sorry about that guys. We are currently dealing with some more pressing matters so the Agora is on the backburner for now. When I get a chance I will go through my notes and see if I can come up with a few discussion topics and votes.

    But I also feel that it’s more important to build “actual” communities at this point rather than meta communities. I think it’s great that we set a precedent by creating the Agora and it could become really cool in the future, but right now, on top of all the other work that needs to be done on this platform, adding yet more serious debates just seems like an exhausting overload.

    At least, that’s my recent thoughts.

    Btw, the deleted posts were usually from spammers and trolls, which is another reason its better to keep the Agora lowkey for now, because it’s a huge target for trolls and we haven’t sorted out our moderation tools yet. TheDude is hard at work but it will take some time.
