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. :)

    yes, according to you guys the purpose of dunking is for it to be fun and cathartic, it still is if the dunking is on public figures , therefore it is functionally the same

      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?

      Go back to reddit, oh my god you are an insufferable lib smuglord.
      You expect others - the site culture at large - to move towards one focused on effortposts and development of rhetoric, yet you yourself cant even be fucking arsed to have basic decency. You can't even be arsed to engage with the arguments, not even in good faith, but just at all. Being a reductive dipshit is sad loser behaviour, go kiss a worm.

          That is incredibly hilarious coming from you
          People disagreeing with you makes you so mad that you instantly resort to misgendering lol. Seriously do some self-crit. People dissenting shouldn't result in you freaking out like this lol
