Future of the Forum, we need your input and feedback

We are certainly open to suggestions but I need to stress the goals for us internally:

• Promote the community to help the community (we can’t hire a ton of people just to focus on community questions and would go against our “Don’t Repeat Yourself” AKA DRY method)
• Focus our efforts into the minimal amount of platforms (hence why we have never/rarely answer questions in areas like StackOverflow, Reddit, Twitter, ect) to provide the most impact
• Ideally try to have a platform that everyone can enjoy and that we can properly manage/moderate against abuse, spam, ect without too much human requirements

Well, this seem to me that there is no place for real suggestions.
Because “hiring a ton of people” is - obviously - not necessary for moderating the forum.
For me the forum was abandoned roughly a year ago and without effort of Strapi the forum became to that mess it is right now.

Shifting community interaction to GitHub / Discord might be more beneficial for you (regarding publicity “xx.xxx k users in our discord!”) however being “real open-source” and “community-driven” obviously comes with the cost of enabling the community or providing a low-barrier solution for community discussions.
