## Member journeys and operator controls.

-   **Community interface and APIs**
-   **Visibility and notification rules**

-   **Moderation console**
-   **Abuse and access test scenarios**

## Agree the rules before building the feed.

### Moderation operations

Define reporting, response ownership and escalation before public participation.

### Media costs

Storage, delivery and message volume shape infrastructure requirements.

## Questions before we start.

### Can we launch without direct messaging?

Yes. A focused community can start with posts and replies, adding messaging after its privacy and moderation model is ready.

### Will the feed use machine learning?

Only when the data and product goals justify it. Chronological or rule-based feeds are valid starting points.
