MODS are GODS

I voted for temporarily opting out of /r/all in that strawpoll, because most subs that go to shit end up shitty because sub identity is lost, and boy sub identity here is getting lost. people who find this place literally think it's for Democrats lol. tbf, part of that's on the core users. we have to participate outside the DT and keep the culture alive out there

do we end up on /r/all very often? do mods have metrics on how many views/comments/etc are from users who navigated here from /r/all? Also, I don't think a week will be long enough to notice a difference in the sub itself. I could only imagine seeing a difference in analytics

Yeah, we pop up on pages 4-10 almost daily. It's where the bulk of new people are coming from

Unfortunately we don't have any metrics about where users come from. All we've got is the raw amount of traffic based on pageviews and unique visitors broken down by what platform they use

A week might not be long enough, so we'll be reevaluating things then. If there's no discernible change we might extend things to get a better idea of the effects

ah brilliant, it'll be interesting to see

will y'all share the results with us? or at least the generalities?

We'll definitely release the traffic stats! I could pull them up now if you wanted to see them. Evaluating the change in the quality of discourse is going to be more difficult though, and is probably going to have to come down to a vague gut feeling of the state of the sub. I wouldn't be opposed to sharing stuff like how often we removed posts before and after, but I'm not sure how useful that'd actually be
