Fireside Chat - - - No Imposter Here! Community Building with Among Us.
summary
Community manager joins Among Us at its viral peak and faces scale problems: 700,000-member Discord where moderation bots break, server overloads during spikes, and a tiny five-person core. Priorities become shipping a robust in-game moderation/reporting pipeline, standing up an official Twitter within days, using Sprout for social listening, and outsourcing ports/merch/support. Retention beats growth, TikTok fuels reach (often 2–3 hours per 15s TikTok), volunteer moderators absorb load, and automated moderation runs while player feedback stays human.
