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. :)
after rule 8, no, before yes
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?
yes
okay, with that exception in mind, could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?
yes, if they were from federated instances
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?
yes
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?
yes, but as i said it almost never happened
so the_dunk_tank and c/gossip are not functionally the same now, or at least as of around 15 minutes ago, correct?
Yes, though the difference is minor
what was the point of this conversation?
Do self crit
