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.
Throwing my support behind this as well. I get why the renaming needed to happen, but splitting the comm into two never really made much sense to me, and just seemed like a solution in search of a problem. Reunite the comms, call it c/dunk or c/slop, and let people post what they want. I think the fear that the resulting comm will get flooded by type takes is probably overblown, but that could get addressed later if it turns out to be a problem. People who don’t want to see the dunking can block the comm. I can’t imagine that there are a ton of folks out there who had c/slop blocked but not c/gossip (or vice-versa) anyway.
