Updates on our Community šŸ¤

There’s more to it that that.

For example, many posts were frequently flagged and hidden simply because some users disagreed with the opinions shared. This issue was raised multiple times by the community as a source of frustration, but rather than being addressed, discussions were often just locked, and we haven’t received any updates since.

The Discord. I’ve joined but it’s more like real-time chat at the moment and I’ve got other things to do.

You can tap the blue bar that says ā€œx new messages since xx:xxā€ and it’ll take you back to where you last read.

The community is more than just the people who have left for the Discord and I don’t hear many people complaining at all. I’ve joined the Discord myself but have no intention of deleting my account and posts here - there’s too much valuable information that people have posted which will be absent on the Discord.

It’s kinda disappointing but if that’s what the folks want :confused:

This place can be testing, probably less so lately since my ban (maybe that’s growth :man_shrugging:) but I hope it doesn’t die out.

So many nice, smart thinking people, some not so, but that’s the nature of the internet.

Hopefully the community does come more ā€œrewardingā€.

Yes - the community is the membership here and it seems a bit insulting to those members who post regularly but not as frequently to refer to the people who have gone over to Discord as ā€œthe communityā€.

Not going to delete my account here or anything, but if the conversation is over on Discord, which right now it is, then that’s where I’ll be.

If it comes back here, so will I. I hope we don’t end up with a divide between the two.

This thread is making me chuckle because a change to this forum can make a bunch of people go anti (e.g., removing themselves from the forum, etc.). It’s like the world’s ending! :joy:

(Maybe as I’m not a regular poster I don’t see the big issue with the changes…)

I have no issue with the imposed changes to the forum.
I have no issue with people leaving in numbers to start another community.

It will however, cause dilution and there will be an unavoidable us-and-them feel at some point. It’s happened before. And maybe, just maybe, by staying put but voicing massive dissaproval to the changes, the users who left may have helped sort things out here.

Which will be a shame. Because it really shouldn’t have this feel.

Real talk: I haven’t banked with Monzo properly since 2020. I stopped using them completely around this time apart from brief dalliance in 2023 for a whole day.

But I still come here. That’s because I quite enjoy the range of topics. I don’t regret starting the thread that might’ve accidentally started this journey - getting frustrated at the increasingly overzealous use of the content filter, but I would regret it that causes this place to close.

I think it will change, and that’s not bad thing. Monzo is first and foremost a business which has legal obligations, it’s not setup by a fanboy in their mums bedroom.

My hope is that we don’t really lose the sense of community that I feel coming here. Fellow banking nerds that may, or not, bank with Monzo.

So I won’t be deleting this account and intend to keep using it. Hopefully that can continue.

Likewise, just hit send on the same email. I don’t feel it’s the same community I joined back in 2019 or whenever it was.

I’m not leaving because of this update, it just reminded me the account deletion was on my to-do list.
