Made two changes today. I disabled the who’s online list because I don’t think it’s actually helpful/healthy to the community and wasn’t really useful anyways.
Previously I had muted shenanigans by default for all users but I think that made it too inaccessible. I’ve gone ahead and put it back to normal. Keep in mind that doesn’t mean you’ll be notified for every new post/thread by default, it just means the category will appear on the main page again without you needing to open up the “muted categories” section. Of course, you can still manually re-mute the section if you so wish.
I also considered enabling signatures to allow users to personalize their messages a bit more. I’ve decided to leave it up to a poll which you can vote on or discuss here.
