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.
As a regular, valued contributor to the news mega I think that the way the news mega is set up right now is totally fine, I wouldn't change a thing. In fact, please don't change a thing it's so perfect I read almost every post there (except the Scandinavian shit, who cares about those guys lol)
Regarding the general mega I read maybe half of the opening posts because they have an interesting topic. Don't read too much of the thread though, it's just too ephemeral. My only suggestion would be to spread the general mega over a couple of days, maybe 3 days for a try? That would make them stick around a little longer,which would be a good thing imo.
Thanks for setting up this debate, moderinos.
