I think we have a general path forward based on community feedback. "We see you, we hear you!"

I went ahead and unpinned the old post. I'm pinning this one for now and will edit this post when I wake up from eepy time. I had a very mid week and have no particular alarm set so be on look out. Love y'all and I'm amped for my first announcement post since coming back. :)

    so for someone that finds dunking fun and cathartic, can they still perform the function of dunking on someone who isn't a public figure in c/gossip?

            so it's not functionally the same in all senses?

              thats what functionally same means, that its not literally same

                okay so if you're going into semantics, can we agree that the term "functionally the same" means two things that have the same function?

                    okay cool, now could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?

                        does rule 8 contain this text: "Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this."?

                          yes, but we barely if ever saw any posts that used this exception

                            But under that exception, it would be allowed for someone to post a bad take from comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views yes?

                                okay, with that exception in mind, could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?

                                    and the_dunk_tank and c/gossip have the same rules, aside from rule 8 where it now also links to counterpropaganda, correct?

                                      Those were inattentively copied from the_dunk_tank, i removed reference to that rule 8 in c/gossip now, now instead the rule is just that subjects of a post must be a public person

                                        ah gotcha, it's good to set the rules up clearly

                                        so now there is no exception for posting private figures on c/gossip, right?

                                            and the_dunk_tank held the function of providing a place where users could post a bad take from comments/posts made by a private person that have low amounts of upvotes/likes/views, provided that private person made that post or comment on other instances that are accessible from hexbear, yes?
