AVID:Requests for Comment/Official AVID Subreddit

Official AVID Subreddit

Should we have an official AVID subreddit? It will be a good alternative for users that want to talk about logos and the wiki but don't have a Discord account.

If this passes, the subreddit can be either at r/AudiovisualIdentityDatabase or r/AVIDWiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sickminecraft45 (talk • contribs)

Abstain

1.  Abstain I don’t want to be too harsh about this suggestion because I think it’s a good suggestion to allow people to have another means of being a community. However, I think it would be great to have sometime in 2024/2025 once a structure about how the moderation, rules and other elements are put together. As another note, perhaps it would be great to try to use this one that I found for any users interested in having somewhere on there.

It’s a great suggestion and it might be helpful to plan out how you want the subreddit to be organized and structured with the rules and other things that might help make it a perfect place to be on the platform. Friendly Mountain12 (talk) 05:58, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose for now. We are just too small right now. However, this would be a smart idea to get people in the wiki, but at this stage, we would close it down before the year was over. (Talk!) 10:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
2. Oppose just create a Discord account lol. Its no harder than creating a Reddit account, and it works better as a community space than a subreddit could. (Lets chat!) 02:00, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

6. Oppose at this stage of AVID's lifespan. While a subreddit could eventually benefit us if we grow to a much larger size, at this stage when we're still mostly huddled together in one place it's best to keep things with our existing means of communication - though if you do want to make a general-purpose logo community subreddit, knock yourself out - you just won't get the official endorsement from us. That being said, I do have a comment to make to the other opposing members - some people do not wish to centralize community discussions into a Discord server for fears of a lack of preservation in the long run. While yes, it IS convenient in the shorter term...what happens if we undergo another leadership change or for some reason the archives get wiped? How do we think long-term for our community's future? Just my two cents... Solarstrike (talk) 17:09, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
7. Oppose per EMG and Solarstrike. The server and the forums suit us well enough, there's just no pint FryLetterman (talk) 02:21, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
8. Oppose. I don't think one could work, as unlike, say, Wikipedia or TV Tropes, we're still quite a small yet close-knit community. The Discord serves us far better. Dominicmgm (talk) 23:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
