I hoped merely to help provide a “welcoming” and “fun” and “safe” place for Americans to enjoy visiting
As I said elsewhere, there’s a reason Ask and Casual communities both exist.
A list of questions that could be asked on AskUSA but would still be completely legal
US Americans, what are your worst experiences with your healthcare insurance?
US Americans, how big of a deal are school shootings in your daily lives? Is the media depiction overblown?
US Americans, how is life on minimum wage?
None of those questions would cross any rules, but they would make the community look serious and depressing, but also would allow people to talk about those serious matters.
The odd part is that I am not subscribed to any such community myself - not even the various Shower Thoughts ones:-). Occasionally I will run into such a post on All or such, and if there is a need then I am willing to help with something but the communities I tend to frequent on my own initiative are like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and the Fediverse “drama” communities.
Thank you for walking me through all of this. And now I see the appoint moderator button, on people’s accounts, so I should be ready to implement it when it happens:-).

From what you are saying, you should probably handle a more laid-back CasualUSA community, similar to [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected]
You can probably open a post to call moderators to take over AskUSA, and open CasualUSA in parallel

So, are you OK to open !casualUSA, and try to find some help for !askUSA? :-)

I’ll wait to hear the answer before making casualUSA, in case nobody is willing to do the more serious one.
Thank you for the post!
