That’s the issue with a decentralized administration in a lot of ways. If there isn’t any clear leadership and it’s reddit-style community driven, somebody is going to have to really push activity during the early days. Getting the users won’t be easy as you say.
As TC said anarchy just doesn’t quite work in practice. There would have to be some sort of structure. But reddit does a good job mostly decentralizing it.
I had a plan here to have active, high REP members of the community manage featured content and decide what gets posted on the portal, etc. we have plugins installed already for that here, but it’s built on top of the super moderator system, so it’s all or nothing on those tools. That would never work for us.
Eventually that’s the goal. To have featured content be managed by high rep members of the community, but we gotta do a lot of custom coding before that’s possible.
