hey Alp, really interesting insight, thanks for sharing. I’m really excited to see more communities come online within just about, is there any plans or ideas for community members to potentially have roles within those communities? By that I mean actually working for the community? Like a paid role? An example is say you fire up a Sega or Atari or apex legends or any kind of just about feed, and there’s some amazing super fans / contributors in there is there any opportunities for them to work for that community outside of what we are already seeing in just about or is that over to the companies community manager or social manager? Apologies if this is already on display and in action on EVE feed but I am not a member there as I’ve never played the game. I’m very curious as I see this possibly being a unique differentiator and offering from just about as this could possibly help communities / companies if they don’t need to worry about running another platform in house? And they may get someone who’s on just about who knows the ins and outs of the platform and is super passionate about the topic etc! Hopefully this makes sense I’m just back a walk and the ice cold fresh air must be working me up! Thanks 🙏

Hey MURRRAAAAY!

Thanks for reading :)

Our partners won't be handling moderation - Boomer's team will be handling that in the first instance. The hope is that before too long, community members will take on more roles too, but we don't want the platform to become a wild west, so we'll always be on hand.

In terms of community roles, there's lots of plans to those ends, and I think Boomerwould be best placed to answer this.

Hey MURRRAAAAY , we're absolutely going to need moderators from the community to help as the platform grows. This is probably the closest to what you're asking about, and it'll be something that works closely with me and some of the other familiar faces (like Alex Sinclair and Rich ).

We’d hope that our Partner companies take a keen interest in the platform and engage with the community too, but they don’t have moderation rights themselves. It’s our commitment to them that we ensure community standards and our Terms of Service are upheld.

My experience prior to working at Just About has shown that active, supportive, and passionate community members tend to draw the attention of the companies they follow. This has lead to work for me in the past, and it's possible it could work for others in the future.

It's feasible that being active, supportive, and passionate on Just About might make our partners aware of your contributions, but there's no guarantee. What I am sure of is that it helps us spot the members we’re more likely to invite to become moderators.

Taking my Just About and Community hat off for a minute 🤠. . . 😃

I'm an avid Magic: the Gathering player and keen to do more D&D, so Wizards would be pretty high up on my personal list. One day maybe!🤞

Whenever we discuss new communities, my brain screams: 'Just About D&D! Just About D&D! Just About D&D!' It would be perfect.

In a very long time, I have not, apart from the YouTube comments section, interacted with anyone outside of my VERY small circle of IRL friends, JA for me has been, a real, how do I put this into words, it's given me drive, it's not just the bounties but also the topics, they are, what I'm interested in, there are zero toxic areas here, no bitching or arguing, it's just people having fun, talking about games, sharing content, it's what gaming should be about.

I come home and each night I drop JA website onto the main screen and start going through, lots to read, lots to enter bounty-wise, and lots of discussions and topics. JA has made me happier as a person, is the best way I can state that? I look forward to the next topic, or next bounty, or even just the next hot drop of conversation.

So, bring on the future, because I am going nowhere except right here!

Thank you so much for this lovely response!

You've absolutely made my (and the rest of the team's) day.

You are absolutely who we are building Just About for, and thank you for being here and helping us bring it to life.

Boomer's avatar

You don't know how happy it's made our team to read this.

We love that you all choose to spend your precious time with us 🧡

I’d second this! Just about Part of my daily routine now! Taking over from going on places like Twitter etc which more often than not I leave feeling miserable due to all the other negative junk you end up exposed to via its feed! Not with Just about tho it’s just all good vibes! And actually good in depth interactions! Very refreshing! Keep up the awesome work everyone in team JA and the community! Thank you!🙏

Yeah I dislike Twitter myself now, with its takeover it's just become a cesspit of negativity.

MURRRAAAAY's avatar

yea tbh they are all pretty bad, another thing that gets overlooked is even the adverts you get shown, so often it’s really sad ones and stuff that makes you feel down or worry about the future, as soon as I can afford to go ad free I will be paying for that on any platforms I use, even like YouTube and the free streaming services in the uk like 4OD and itv player the adverts are terrible. Ps wish there was even the option on these device to say only show me adverts on x topic and opt out of healthcare/ politics or whatever you want to avoid!

EveOnlineTutorials's avatar

100%, they need to opt out of things, I get adds for dating websites, and I'm married? Makes zero sense to me, not to mention, with all due respect I could not care less about world wide politics you know?

Great insight! - once again reinforcing my thoughts that this feels different and exciting to be part of!

Square Enix maybe? (one can hope ^^')

I would totally support a Just About D&D too!

And if we ever get a Just About Music section, maybe Napalm Records or other labels could be great partners? I can totally see bounties popping up about Wacken Open Air or other festivals :D
