No one in the community asked for this. It just seems like a couple admins wanted to do this and we’re all forced into this terrible decision.

Quite annoying and makes me want to use the site less if this is the direction we’re going.

    The reason they’re changing the name is so that people post there less because it’s a more obtuse name.

        More belittling replies. Expect nothing less from you.

            I’m not trying to argue with you. I never was. I find your conversation style belittling and rude. I know you find it cute and funny and you’re trying to be like the mods on the old site for the lolz, but it’s off putting. Please stop.

      so is the problem that they're silencing people who can't post in other comms, or that people are posting more in other comms because... their content fits there?

        I’ve explained my problem with it and you’re reframing to your own argument. Honestly, if we come up with a new agreed upon name for main, I’m fine with the decision.

          reframing it to my own argument? you're moving the goalposts. my comment above yours is asking you to explain; is it when you said this:

          breaking up the conversation to what the admins have decided is in the realm of topics they agree upon

          or when you said this:

          people post there less because it’s a more obtuse name

          is it that they're silencing off topic, or are there not many off topic posts?

            They want less people to post in main so that they in turn post in the comms because they want more activity in the comms. By having more people posting in comms it gives the admins more control over the topics talked about.

              how does it give the admins more control if people are making an individual decision about posting in !traphouse vs. other comms? in what way does that control topics?

              i've only seen an increase in the diversity of posts as more communities pop up. !gardening posts were nonexistent before the comm.

              what topics do you even think the admins are trying to limit???
