As someone who's PR department, how might we improve and keep users from leaving?

hmm, good arguments, but i still do have some questions about this post.
Therefore, I ask that everyone start waiting rather than immediately pointing the finger and complaining. That's an issue as well and I am not referring to you at all. Just keep this in mind.
yeah i get where this is coming from, but the thing is: how long will we have to wait until our complaints with the site get fixed? /genq
if it takes too long or the issues of other users are not addressed and tackled head-on, i think we kinda do have reason to object since we're not fully satisfied with the forum yet if that makes sense. besides, other users addressing the flaws of this site could be something that has benefits! that doesn't mean i totally disagree with you, though.
As stated before, the only reason Shrub and the other User were warned was that newsletters are meant to have clear, constructive, and meaningful replies as this is usually content that is going to be published via Social Media. Additionally, I still hold the expectation that if something isn't necessarily needed or isn't constructive, don't post it.
that's fair enough, but i don't really think a single post should lead to a warning since nobody else started derailing. i hope this makes sense as i type this.
The Moderation Team noticed a spike in thread-derailing and unnecessary, unconstructive posts made by the community. This forum for the longest has banned any form of Shitposting long before much was said regarding it. However, Shitposting wasn't really a problem until the last few months, when we had a problem with unconstructive, foolish posts, which could in our eyes, be deemed as shitposting.
this is where i'm going to share my take on this: i really do understand your concerns by banning shitposting, but i actually think it was the major reason why some people left. this might seem crazy but think about it: it's a big part of the internet's culture, and depending on what it is some people actually like engaging in this sorta thing. i'm not saying there's anything "wrong" with your reasoning, but think about it.
Despite numerous announcements to keep posts constructive, this problem continued to become worst throughout the months ahead. Additionally, the Forum started dying until we started pushing the unconstructive posts off the site.
okay, what? i don't think the forum was "dying" at the time, it's actually dying right now and many users are leaving the site because they're probably not satisfied. but anyways, let me move on, this is just my take on this.
i kinda get the rest of the shitposting stuff so im just gonna skip it
Regarding your statement about the MPPC forum and other forum communities, we have temporarily removed the mentions and advertisements that users have been creating. This was not done to be petty or show hate towards this forum. Our administration team and higher-ups frequently talk with the forum administrators as we work together to fix issues around our forum. Additionally, I have removed it as we work to establish connections with other forums in hopes of creating an affiliate page that would improve relationships outside of our forum, which is something we are aiming for in the long run.
i'm still confused-? i might not have understood something obvious because i'm probably stupid, but i still don't see the reason you temporarily removed the posts at all then. besides, as someone who knew the context of that post, they weren't advertising. besides since it wasn't MASS advertising, shouldn't it be allowed-? but anyways where was i
oh yeah, i think it'd be awesome if you replied and shed light on the part i was talking about how staff should be more patient, especially with new/sensitive users. i've seen some cases where some staff say things that could be deemed "rude" when they should be more chill, so to speak. and well, i lost the urls i would show here to link as examples- but i'd love to see your view on it, if possible
and im just giving my view on this, not inherently criticizing or saying your points are bad (because they're not). but yeah, this makes sense, thanks for replying

You're missing a lot about what I was saying. Our activity has decreased significantly and started to before you got here. Most of the people who left are the same people who shitpost everyday and often get banned, so, I dont really see a problem with them leaving. It is ultimately up to them!
Allowing the advertisements of other forums right now, kind of defeats the purpose of collaborations with other communities as the focus is on growing their community and ours as well.
If you could provide the links or look for an example where we werent being patient, it would be appreciated. I don't have much to go off of. Additionally, we can continue this conversation via dms as I have some things to catch up on.

@_Izzy_ no, there's just that little users

i wonder if browse dns becoming a actual app would make it more popular, i bet artist would love an extra social media platform that wont use their art to train ai, plus the site reminds me of reddit but not toxic

i think it should become a actual downloadable app

are you familiar with F droid? just an idea but it might be cheeper than hosting it on google

-
@Raven ok, i remember i used f droid to download a music downloader on a really old phone that google wasnt supported on. i believe all of the files were akp downloaded so it'd only work on android anyway
-
Basically, I don't usually see the other staff bring this up but users are leaving like crazy. We get new accounts everyday but most accounts on here have zero posts or are flat out advertising gambling websites and are quite literally bots. What do you as the community want that we can give you? Please answer in this posts replys!
@Yanderemenhera I brought this up and I'M staff
-
We do have an apps in the works! Actually push notifications is the difficult part, but we should be able to get there eventually. It's important to make the site easier to use for mobile users.
On the users that have left though, I generally agree with Raven's take that it's natural / their decision to make. People will come and go over time. Obviously, we don't want to make this feel like an isolating place either.
