I propose someone create /s/SubsWeWant. It would behoove us to discuss potential subs first, explain our goals, determine if better names exist, consider (co-)moderators, be encouraged or talked out of them, and help promote awareness about them. I have lists of sub ideas I think folks might like.

This sub needs a description!

Thanks for the mod invites. I'm not a supporter of endless sub expansion, so expect me to try and talk everyone out of everything :D

Feel free to expand upon what is already there. I believe JasonCarswell will be joining, and adding his input, since he did wish for this sub to exist in the first place.

Your description in https://SaidIt.net/subs/new/ currently states:

"New Saidits subs, discussion of future subs, and promotion of newly created ones."

I suspect Bob3 (who has blocked me and can't read this) might be meaning in the sidebox to the right, below the subscribe button.

For more ideas to include you can mine the comments of the original post this OP mirrors: /s/SaidIt/comments/7fw5/i_propose_someone_create_ssubswewant_it_would/ I drunkenly rhapsodized out many reasons.

While I disagree with Bob3 on a few things I know we agree on much else, often posting the same videos. Blind-spots aside, he's generally got good insights from his heavily biased perspective. Importantly here, his feedback will be great to help rationally weigh the pros and cons.

Yes. This all seems good. If you would like to expand on the description, feel free to. The stub that is there, I just hap haphazardly wrote.

After I do some stuff and feel more whimsical I may accept your mod invite to add a blurb, then un-mod again. (Feel free to edit it as you see fit thereafter.) In that lighter mode I'll also share some lists of sub ideas, and/or sub projects. I have enough for one post a day for at least a couple weeks - or a couple years if I didn't use lists.

Alright. It's hard to say when or if the sub will gain any popularity. Site traffic has been low as of late, and the sub would need to be promoted itself. Bit of an irony, needing to promote a sub about promoting subs, in a sub somewhere.... I assume you have an overall vision for the look of it, and I have zero experience in working with templates. Speaking of a couple of years, it might just take that long for a sub of this nature to gain any traction. But do we even want popularity for it? I assume it would be for promoting current subs, as well as brainstorming potentials subs. Is that correct?
