I don't mind the concept of the decay, it is the fact that it is based on comments that could be an issue, since it encourages more controversial posts as opposed to generally well-recieved posts, just my 2cents
hmm you clame to haet the internet yet you use the internet, interesting!!!
The thing is if it was a private citizen whose dog bit someone then the dog would likely be destroyed. Its a very fucked up area of law. Keep your dogs on leads!!!
step 1: get untrained neglected dogs for campaign pandering
step 2: continue to not train the dogs
step 3: wait
step 4:
MARCH 9th BIDEN BITING INCIDENT
It reflects my reality as a terminally-onliner, so I suppose yes
CW:
___Did they ask her about the allegations she abused her staff?
Speaking of gaddafi, can anyone explain the whole thing with Sarkozy? I don't really understand what happened there
I feel like people didn't really take it seriously because before like 3 days ago it didn't seem like it was a set-in-stone decision. If you said "We're renaming the site, you have two weeks to give ideas", people could come up with some really creative stuff. There's 14k people here, I bet at least one of us has an idea that a majority likes.
Literally the last OP saying we should rename the sight I saw before today was a person who said that parents should be randomly selected, like if the discourse happens there no ones gonna take it seriously lol
At the end of the day people just like to feel included in the decision making process :)
The real point I guess I have been dancing around is why not simply ask for input that we are happy to provide if asked? Whenever this has been brought up in the past I gave the same shpiel about what I think the name should be but it feels like no one listened (I get no one would listen to one user personally but you know what I mean)
Agreed on all points except I personally don't like making fun of people unless they are libs or chuds beyond repair. Treat others the way you want to be treated, etc etc
Why not keep the branding but just let people buy domain names if they want and do a poll again (since the last one was on a different platform and nine months ago)? The name doesn't have to be the same as the logo
[Prefacing by saying this is entirely in good faith, I've been using this site & the sub on a few different alts since 2017]
At the same time, naming ourselves hexbear.net (or some derivative of hexbear) was a very popular second choice when we voted on a URL back before the site opened
They claim to be communist yet they would sell their domain for money? Hmmm
For what its worth I have participated in some threads about the name and the vibe of the replies from sitemods/admins was always "Good points but we're gonna do this anyways"
Not to mention the fact that the most recent one I saw was literally a nazi-malthusian troll advocating FOR the name change
And yeah hebe is a slur short for hebrew that origniated in the 1920s so that aspect is pretty problematic
I think the issue is that this Site has different meanings for different people. If no one bothers to advertise no one will come to the site, it doesn't matter what the name is. I just sort of view this as a shitposting forum, I don't think there is much real praxis potential on a website with 14k people on it that isn't local to anywhere, although if you do view it in such a manner, that's fine with me. I would (if it was up to me) pick a name as obvious as possible, like "lefttalk" or "socialistchat" or something like that. Imo thats the best option to satisfy both camps.
Hebe is unironically an antisemetic slur, so maybe they should rethink this...
I've been saying this for months and each time the post gets like 10 upvotes and is ignored.
What do people think will happen when you encourage commenting? The more argumentative, trolling, and debate-me threads get boosted right to the top.
