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.

This is a personal anecdote. I didn't save any evidence. You can believe me or not. I don't care.
I used to idle in the hexbear cytube instance (hextube) quite a bit. Melina started doing that as well. We have chatted many times. We haven't always been on good terms but I'm over that.
I will say a compliment about Melina. I think Melina is a funny person. I've laughed at the fakenews comm. It is a funny comm.
Melina has said anti-union things to me in the past. It was maybe like 5 or 6 months ago in the hextube chat. There might have been 1 or 2 other users in the chat. Melina would sometimes got to the hextube chat and tell me about their job. I'm not posting any identifying details. Melina told me that they don't like the union workers at their job, that one of the union workers give them an attitude or something. I told Melina to join a union.
It's very weird to me that someone who has previously said antiunion things to me is now allowed to run their own antiunion comm. It's not funny. It's not a good joke. It doesn't seem like a joke at all. It seems like veiled beliefs.
Melina has also been banned from hexbear before or at least that is what Melina told me. I don't know why they're allowed to be a mod at all. I thought them being mod of fakenews was okay because it was funny and it was a containment board, it stopped Melina from posting fake info on other comms.
come on man. you're doing a testimonial right now
You were probably there too. I haven't seen you on hextube in a while. Maybe you use a different name or maybe you just don't go there anymore. I also think you are very funny. I hope you are doing well. I have a lot of respect for you.
I don't think there should be an anti union comm and I especially don't trust Melina to moderate such a comm. Please don't hate me.
i'm absolutely not hating. i'm trying to see what the problem is here and it feels like a kneejerk reaction to seeing something there are tools to avoid seeing in the future
idk, I think it's worthy preventing a rightward drift of this site.
i don't really see it drifting to the right though. i see someone posting jokes that we are all in on and a lot of people taking it entirely too seriously
