For the record, subsequent events lead me to withdraw this recommendation. I’m now convinced that SocialHub has fallen into a classic “tyranny of structurelessness”. Two possible paths out are;
- SH community sets up formal governance, where people with admin and mod powers are subject to fair and clearly signposted conflict resolution processes, to make sure they’re accountable to the community, as well as vice-versa.
- Decentralising SH using forum federation, and some thoughtful UX design work (which is needed anyway and I’m keen to help), so there is no SPoF to be torpedoed by things like admins going AWOL, or falling into petty empire-building.
