Controversial opinion, I am for keeping main, and the bot, as a bit. The mods fucking with the community was always a staple of old Chapo and it's good to see it back. This place is theoretically a shit-posting website, so I expect to see shit shit-posted. Oh, and AMAB, all power to the posters, we are the 99%, I am the one true leftist, etc.
I fucking love how much this account is upsetting everyone, it's legendary. Please don't ban it.
Lmao it's so bad yet so good. Just because of how much it's bothering people and their reactions.
The bot's annoying but some of you are making way too big of a fucking deal about it lmao. Being this upset about a bad bit account is some terminally online shit.
Alright everybody. Rules of the session are that whomever has the top comment on the 'active' filter wins the session. I will address concerns that my category for winning is biased because my comment is the one currently on top at another time. Now is the time for solidarity and upholding the mass line! Forward comrades!
I have it on good authority that COMM_ORGANISER_BOT is not actually a bot, but is really an Enver_Hoxha alt account.
good
eeehhh its not the worst bit ive ever seen, but "good" might be a bit of a stretch
Say what you want but at least they started shit out of nowher, no need to create dozens of spam accounts. Enver could never.
true. im pretty ambivalent about the whole thing tbh.
its one innocuous comment that suggests other comms on each post, so theres nothing particularly awful about it, its just also not really a good bit.
could probably just suggest comms without the bot formatting and itd rankle fewer feathers
SUNDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN PRESENTS: THE POSTER'S CHAMPION, BILLYMAYS, VERSUS THE MADAME OF MODERATION, TRANSCOMRADE69. LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!
That's a whole other conversation that we should actually hash out in another thread, but I agree.
We don’t have to confine the entire website to one community. That’s such a counterproductive take. Why can’t we have communities that discuss particular topics through a leftist lens? We've raised like close to $2000 for various causes through organizing content into the mutual aid comm and making that sort of thing easily accessible for people, if we went back to just main it'd just be shit posts and any kind of effort like that would be drowned out. Look at the trans comm, there is a slew of reading material directly in the side bar, pinned educational posts, and I envision it being a place for trans people to shit post and further educate people. Why can't something like that exist? Why do we have to go back to the shitty subreddit where everything is post dumped into a single place when we can use these tools to better help educate?
We don’t have to confine the entire website to one community.
We don't have enough users to be "confined." We barely have enough users for one community as it is. The problem is that you think that a 150k user community and a 1k user community can be reasonably managed the same way and with the same philosophy, and that just simply is not the case.
This. There is a commonly known 90-9-1 rule in community management. I've seen this trend play out on every single community I've ever been involved with on the side where you can see the data.
If we ban posts and comments like I've been saying we need to we can widely expand the userbase that engages fully with the site.
And your critique on the rest of the stuff we've managed to do through the use of individual comms that would normally be drowned out if we all post vomitted on main?
I literally made same post on Main and Mutual Aid. The one on main got way more upvotes and exposure. The one on mutual aid got almost nothing.
Raising money: Easily done through pinned posts. Literally no reason this needs to have an entirely separate forum.
Reading material in the sidebars / educational posts: Easily done through pinned posts, regular posts (which would get popular and wouldn't just be drowned out by shitposts) or by implementing any sort of wiki / reading material list into the site. Raddle has solved this issue and that site fucking sucks. https://raddle.me/wiki
somehow we got by just fine on old chapo with a maximum of 2 pinned posts
are you saying that on this new site we are going to fail to solve a problem that we had solved just fine on reddit
You just pinned a post today and yesterday to help out users. What are you talking about?
if we went back to just main it’d just be shit posts and any kind of effort like that would be drowned out
The same reason the Discord fucking sucks. Next hot take please.
I appreciate the reminder but insulting my ironic emoji use really isn't a critique of my argument. I really do appreciate the reminder though, friend. I fucking love that emoji. :)
Wjat's the point of that bot if you can't change the community you have posted the post
