Slop is meant to be for posts from random internet users or other lemmy instances, not posts from people with actual influence over a significant number of people.
Haha I’m not good at this. I thought pop culture was the comm that was created at the same time as slop but that was gossip.
Seems gossip got merged.
Oop

Use /c/popularculture for Hasan or contra or whatever. If the mods there say no contra then that’s the way it is i guess.
I haven’t consulted anyone about this so if a more senior mod wants to contradict me i get it.
Agree or disagree in the comments I’m pretty easy to influence so argue if you want:::
I get your point, there’s always a potential can of worms when something is up to the vibes of the mod star chamber rather than a cut and dry rule. However, this change is just as subjective, it’s mod discretion as to how many followers one needs to be “influential” (especially given how many influencers pay for bot followers).
