Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

I'm sure you all remember the very very funny time we voted to ban the admins of DBZero but stay federated with the instance. It's still very funny, but it turns out that banning them has had an side effect that I, at least, didn't consider at the time: their mod actions don't federate anymore either.

See Hexbear post here: https://hexbear.net/post/4342876
After commenting, I went to look at what people were saying on the original post, and as you can see yourself, the post has been deleted on .ee and DBZero. Looking in the modlog over there it was deleted almost immediately after posting, but still exists as a federated post.

The above post is a non-issue and I don't have examples of harmful content making it through, but the implication here is that db0 and unruffled's (and indeed any admin or mod we've banned without defederating from) attempts to remove harmful content will not federate, unintentionally exposing our users to it.

Unless our admins have some way to bridge the gap I'm afraid we may have to defederate in order to maintain the safety of our user base.

Someone needs to update the API specifically for this bit.
