Hello users of hexbear after some discussion we mainly wanted to get your thoughts on the two pinned megathreads, one general and one news.
We've noticed that the news mega has basically become the general mega and the general mega has kinda slowed. Some are thinking that it might be time to tell people to stop posting random shit to the news mega because some appreciate the ever so slightly more serious, focused tone of the news mega
As of now there is not much of a standard for comments however we wanted to discuss with you regarding making a change. Where the news megathread is for discussion on current events and their history/implications for future while the general megathread is for commenting on one's life, interests, or for shit-posting.
This would result in the news megathread being more heavily moderated to actively remove comments that are a better fit for the general megathread or off topic.
Please comment with any thoughts, opinions, comments, questions, or concerns.
I would love to see a lot of the megathreads energy get sent over to matapocos.dog, but I also understand why that won't happen.
I have exactly zero interest in using mastodon
Just like here, one could primarily use it local-only
That's not what I mean. The structure of mastodon, being inherited from twitter, is inherently bad. Account following, no threading, no communities. The degree of federation has no impact on these anti-features.
I see, I somewhat agree with that
Matapacos.dog has like 200 accounts vs. the 25,000 here.
Sure, if more people made accounts there, then there would be more users, is what I'm saying
