Oh then that sounds very cool. I think I suggested something similar to it then

There's also a bit of a fine line there. It oftentimes ends up steering into weird bioessentialism.

Yeah because they like that content

I literally explained it, it drowns out serious things like mutual aid.

You literally didn't, at least not sufficiently, which is why you were asked more about it. "Serious things" like mutual aid (the only serious thing on this site, everything else is pure posting) only function because the site gets enough traffic to support it. People go here because it brings them some sort of positive emotion, and a big part of that is building a community, which requires the ability to be casual. Seeing as how you're very serious, I can assume you do some sort of political organising, so you should be aware of this. Demanding everything to be serious all the time only makes things less effective.

what you're basically saying here is that a problem with the site are the posts that annoy you, personally.

The code of conduct should be replaced with a hotline to me where I can be asked wether or not I vibe with a certain post and if I don't - straight to jail

I would like to upbear you for point #1, but then the rest of your post happened. I agree on hiding some comms by default could be a good idea. The rest is just pure armchair psychology and quite frankly very lacking of empathy. Yeah some users do use this site as a surrogate for a community, but they've got their reasons. I know I had.
It's also kind of an odd critique because you know you can just block comms, right? You don't have to see any posts from chat or neurodiverse or disabled or any of the other comms with posts that annoy you. It seems like you're also annoyed by the general concept of people not building communism all the time I'm sorry, but I've got drugs to do and marvelslop to shit on

I definitely made an error in making TC69 an admin, and we will not be adding admins.

Not even me? Just as a silly little bit? Please, I promise not to use it responsibly

The bans and subsequent loss of @Awoo@hexbear.net @PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net and ReadFanon@hexbear.net] (dont recall if fanon was banned, but I haven't seen them around) were bullshit and the mentality that lead to them really needs to be dropped. I also haven't seen @Frank@hexbear.net or @aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net around for a long while. That sucks.

We all have petty grievances, but I really wish those who think they are responsible enough to moderate a community would be responsible enough to leave their private issues at the door.

I'm not 100% sure who you are talking about as this is vague

Zoomeristleninist

And every community its' own mega

However, people who are still harboring viewpoints that are in favor of imperialism should not be allowed on this site

In that case you'd lose most of the userbase. We should not expect perfection or lack of brainworms of each other. Go look thru old/controversial posts if you want to see how much the site vibe has changed and how much current users have grown. Heck even recently there was the post about users cheering on the US if it invaded Greenland.
As long as people aren't being assholes they should be welcome. (Not arguing for a marketplace of ideas or debate or anything silly like that.)

You and Ivysaur both mentioned that you would not have been welcome here at earlier points in your life, but you are now. Frauddogg is still in that earlier stage, and null have not rejected their indoctrination in favor of capital. If frauddogg was willing to change, I might accept them back in a few years, but I doubt that will happen.

Yeah that's the vibe I mean. I guess this comment was pointless, sorry.

We do not have enough emojis, wyyesseff must have a whole team to help.

I would love the resources, but I know I won't be able to follow thru on the project lol. Still, please share them

In the spirit of the suggestion that separate points are kept separate, I'll do this one on its own.

I think a nice communitygathering effort would be a weekly crowdsourced effortpost. Posts like this one and this one were great for both pooling resources, getting people to work together and reminding us we're all on the same side. They've also been great tools to have since then for educating myself as well as others. Effective agitprop in a way.

It would be nice to have a weekly or monthly thread focusing on one issue where we could work together to make something like that for different subjects. "Why is wikipedia bad?" "Structural racism and misogyny" "Issues with Ukraine" and so on. I'm sure people have plenty of ideas for good posts like that.

The resources are already here, but they're spread out and they disappear as users delete their accounts. I know @robinn@hexbear.net (sorry I don't know what your current account is, if you're still here) has written out a bunch of fantastic posts with a great wealth of resources that are now lost to the wind as the accounts get deleted.

Lots of good stuff in here. I would like us to have more bots, they're fun and they help remind us not to be too serious.
Bot ideas:

• ReactionaryCountBot - goes thru the modlog and counts all the times moderator action has happened for transphobia, sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.
• PunBot - Gives you puns.
• StruggleSessionBot - Posts pictures of outdoorcats whenever somebody mentions cats.
• REgonQuotesBot - Ping it for my greatest hits
• FunFactsBot - Gives you fun facts
• QuickDiscussBot - Has links to a bunch of megathreads/effortposts and you can ping it to bring them up so you don't have to constantly explain what's wrong with wikipedia.

You are honestly an exemplary moderator and admin. No bit, no joke, if "being a moderator" was a college course, studying you would be required.

Sounds nice, but the issue (for me at least) hasn't really been lack of knowledge of site rules, but inconsistent enforcement. The rules are written out pretty clearly, but if some moderator disagrees with me then I might get my comment removed for whatever reason, while their friend can threaten to curb stomp me, accuse me of havin 70 transphobic alt accounts and be fine. Pointing this out is then toxic behaviour. Sorry, I am a bit bitter.

Yeah apart from the news mega (and even that one is only neutral to me) I do not understand the drive towards megathreads at all. It's just discord but with extra steps and if I wanted to be in a discord, then I'd be in a discord. I wanted a leftist redditclone, that's why I came here.
It's at least mellowed out a bit, but there has been a lot of push towards those in the past. It's extra odd to me because the site seems to have a vibe of wanting to create agitprop and, at the very least, affecting the wider fediverse, but we want to discourage posting for some reason.
I don't think we should get rid of them. Some people like them and they're a part of site culture now, but I never understood the push for them.

Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?
