I've just updated the doc with a summary of the CEA Online Team's Q1.2 OKRs.

Thanks for the suggestion! This should be relatively quick to add so I'll see if we can do it soon. :) I was also thinking of setting up a bluesky bot account similar to our twitter account. Do you know how active the EA-ish bluesky community is?

I appreciate you saying this Nick — I totally agree with you and couldn't have said it better myself.

Thanks for the suggestion! It's cool to see that people use the vote history feature, since I made it as a random hackathon project. 😄 I like the idea of filtering by reaction! I'll add this to our backlog.

Thanks for flagging! It looks like they took the board down so I've removed the link. (For future reference, I believe anyone who has earned any karma can edit topic descriptions, so I think you could also remove any broken links directly.)

Thanks! I basically landed on using my personal account since most people seem to prefer that. I suppose I'll accept the karma if that's what everyone else wants! :P

Honestly I think it's somewhat misleading for me to post with my account because I am posting this in my capacity as part of the Forum Team, even though I'm still an individual making a judgement. It's like when I get a marketing email signed by "Liz" — probably this is a real person writing the email, but it's still more the voice of the company than of an individual, so it feels a bit misleading to say it's from "Liz". On the other hand, I guess all my Forum content has been in my capacity as part of the Forum Team so no reason to change that now! :)

(I also agree with your points about "LinkpostBot" feeling like it should be an automation, and that having a team account for linkposting runs the risk of making those seem privileged.)

Interesting, why's that? :)

For context: I want the Forum team to be able to do more active crossposting in the future, so it seems reasonable to have a sort of "placeholder" account for when the author of the original piece doesn't have a Forum account. Personally when I see a linkpost, I generally assume that the author here is also the original author (outside of obvious cases like a NYT article link), and it's kinda confusing when that's not the case (I'm more used to this now but it was extra confusing when I was a new user). I also personally feel kinda weird getting karma for just linking to someone else's work, and probably don't want my Forum profile to mostly be links to other articles.

On the other hand, I do want users to feel free to linkpost external articles that they didn't write, especially if they add their own commentary, or even just make some editorial decisions on which parts to quote. (That's why I was fine with crossposting this using my own account, for example.)

Gosh yeah that's reasonable. I was hoping to avoid making another team account to do this kind of crossposting but that's probably the best solution. I guess it's time for SummaryBot to get a sibling, maybe LinkpostBot?

I crossposted this because it was an interesting read, and it makes an argument that I've never heard before. I'd be curious if anyone with more expertise has takes on this! :)

I think the dip in ~May 2022 is most likely simply a data issue, if that's what you're referring to. Probably the real usage data is smoother.
