New Names

Yung nakikita kong upside ay moderation. Since hindi yun masyadong nagagawa sa Facebook groups. Wala rin at all sa Twitter. Relatively walang DDS or Marcos apologists din (I hope). We can focus on peyups being a safe space. Also, some UP groups have been mass reported into shutting down. I think that’s an advantage for this group. Independent siya of Facebook so it’s not vulnerable to such attacks.

I agree with all the suggestions above. Yung main challenge I guess is to get them to come here. Second challenge is to make them want to create an account (to like, bookmark, and hopefully post). Tapos we can worry about how to make them want to stay later.

Oo nga eh. I’m thinking, parang capitalize on our experience na din. Mga advice threads etc :laugh: For the oldies naman, we can ask din kung kumusta na ang campus and other details sa current situation ng UP. So mutualism. Heh.

Not sure if this is in the pipeline as well but maybe we can also have a sort of job board? Or a Who’s hiring/Who’s looking for a thread seguro :slight_smile: Sobrang relevant nun for fresh grads and graduating people. Or a thread about rakets. Puwede ireplicate natin yung mga bulletin boards sa waiting sheds on campus. That said, this will require strict moderation to weed out scammers and spam.

Another good demographic to recruit would be incoming freshmen. Common concerns nila ay kung ano mga subjects, stuff about the campus, maybe where to rent apartments/boarding houses.

I think baka wala pa sa routine nila ang magpeyups ulit? Saka most of them ay lurkers din talaga. Tapos out of sight, out of mind na. If I recall correctly, Discourse deals with this problem by sending activity summary emails the users. Para if they’re inactive alam nila what they missed ma-engganyo sila na bumalik. Facebook/Twitter/Insta competition natin eh and those don’t play fair. They have notifs all the time :laugh:

Baka kelangan magpromote sa mga existing na UP groups? Unang kong naiisip ay yung Narinig ko sa UP group saka yung a group where we pretend to be in up diliman . As for invitations, alam ko may invitation feature sa Discourse where you can send an email to someone na hindi pa member. Or you send them an invite link that they can use to sign up.

Those two groups have memberships in the five to six digits though and I don’t think we want all of them. Nor do we want to grow that fast. Just to have a healthy inflow of new users. Not sure din if the site can afford to grow that fast din. I can imagine that the site maintenance costs will grow with the number of active users :laughing:

Meron pa naman seguro. I think there’s enough of them. We don’t want those tiktokers and selfies here anyway. :laughing:

Sorry for the word vomit. I just care about this topic :laugh: Aside from actively creating content aimed at new users and recruiting them, my short term recommendations would be to enable the activity summary emails and the invite users feature. The latter should be relatively safe as it’s only available to Peyups Addicts and admins for now. So more or less, trusted members naman sila ng community. Combined with the former though, it will significantly increase the number of emails sent out by peyups and it will have some impact on the site maintenance costs.
