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.

Could we please maybe not run our own "ironic" Cointelpro comms for the rest of the fediverse? (hexbear.net)

We're just posting anti-union propaganda on the fediverse now?

Are y'all at least getting paid for it? fedposting

How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we're just propagandizing against ourselves.

just request c/anti_melina_action or something. No reason we can't have that one

[–] SovietyWoomy@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

If some random wrecker came in and posted anti union stuff they'd be bullied off the site and banned. Having an entire community dedicated to being "ironically" anti union is absurd.

Satire is for people who like to smirk, it is counterproductive in the end though

Yeah, I saw that community yesterday and was super confused.

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

if they let me post on fake news the posts would be funnier soviet-huff

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

I'n trying to turn it in to an ironic pooping comm. o7

But yeah, not really needed as a discrete comm. If people have something funny it can go in memes or main.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Was there a point to the Anti-Union-Action comm?

Maybe... mmmaaayyyybbeee it could be useful for pointing out anti union propaganda. But from a recent quick scroll it isn't all that obvious.

I wonder... is there a way to have a com that is only visible on its home instance?

[–] Aabbcc@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where are the posts? I haven't seen any I feel like I'm missing out

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

You won't see it on ee unless someone else from ee (or you) go subscribe to it.

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I don't really care about the comm, but whether we get rid of it or not it shouldn't be because of the fediverse I'm genuinely unclear why we should give a shit about that

Agreed that it sucks but I don't think this is a super serious issue, mostly because it's such a bad bit that it will almost certainly tail off to zero activity like 95% of comms on here do. Maybe the bottom of the sidebar should say it's satire just so we have something to point to for the lemmy libs though.
