Lol I never remotely said it was a secret conspiracy, they just don't recognize that it had zero visibility, and are interpreting that to mean nobody "cared before" and you're making some of the same weird conclusions about people.
The whole idea that nobody cared before is in the garbage unless you believe one of the stupid bullet points above.
You know how like, people view web pages? Each time they look at a page on this site, they see a certain number of posts. The particular post you're talking about didn't show up on the computer screens for more than 0.02% of the user population
But yes, God Ordained that the level of inherent interest in the post would twist fate, hiding the post from 99 percent of users. Then God Ordained that everyone would be mysteriously very interested at a later date, because the mods had incurred His wrath.
I tried posting in User Union. Unfortunately, the admins had decided they weren't taking user imput and deleted it. If you'd been paying attention, you would have known. They were actively spamming it in /c/main.
I manually went through every post on userunion and this is the oldest thread I could find, I didn't see any threads on the name.
I remember the constant struggle sessions, but not that it was resolved at one point. I remember the !main@hexbear.net and !traphouse thing was decided by a vote, I could not find something similar for ChapoChat / Hexbear
but the fact that you remember the “struggle sessions” should be evidence enough that this has been discussed for months.
Yes I know that this has been discussed for months. But my point is that for !main and !traphouse there was a vote but I can't remember or find a vote for the site name.
I also went through every post in userunion and can't find any post dedicated to discussing the measure.
I saw one person, TransComrade69, if I remember correctly, saying she was pushing for a name change, but it was not on a dedicated thread.
One mod mentioning it in the comments of a random post is not seeking out user engagement. Regardless, shutting down discussion of measures once they're formally announced is still bad.

Do you have any idea of the vanishingly small number of people who even physically scrolled past whatever discussion you're talking about?

You said yourself it got like 9 upvotes, which means probably 20 people saw it. This site upvotes at a higher rate than many sites.
Let's throw out some ways of understanding the current phenomenon. People didn't post before, and now they are posting a lot. What gives?
Possibilities:
Which one of those do you think it was?

All you have to do is say
"Yeah, I think it's somewhat likely that a significant portion of the user base saw that post"

WHAT! THATS ILLEGAL! SAY THE THING

Some admins said they were pushing for it within the admin circles, but there was never a publicised request for input.

wait, can you post one?

Asking is when you write a question on a piece of paper and throw it out a window into the breeze
