I have come to the conclusion that meta-posts suck. They drain everyone of their energy, and they quickly fill up with essay long paragraphs that I have no desire or attention span to wade through and fuck up my mental health.
Rather than focus on site-wide issues, the purpose of this post is to get feedback on this specific comm. What issues do you see here specifically that you would like us to focus more on?
I hope to address problems in a pinpoint manner, and then cross reference those concerns across other comms through similar posts in order to address the bigger picture in the end.
I have no intention of having this post pinned. Too much visibility will drown out everyone’s voices in a cacophony of noise. Please keep your comments relatively short and concise, using frequent paragraph breaks for longer comments so that the information can be easily digested. It helps with my ADHD
If this goes smoothly, I plan to work my way through other comms I moderate and address the specific problems there, too.
edit: I was advised to pin it to this comm, it shall remain unpinned to the main page though.
I don’t either - perhaps it was too implicit, but part of saying “drop the rule” was intended to also be “and close c/gossip in the process”. I’m sure someone has the power to see the deltas, but it might require database queries - I certainly can’t see more than that slop has 704 subscribers and gossip has 514 (and I’m subscribed to neither).
