I think we have a general path forward based on community feedback. "We see you, we hear you!"

I went ahead and unpinned the old post. I'm pinning this one for now and will edit this post when I wake up from eepy time. I had a very mid week and have no particular alarm set so be on look out. Love y'all and I'm amped for my first announcement post since coming back. :)

it is functionally the same thing, you can still "dunk" on people, they just have to be public figures, that does not in any way diminish the "fun" in it does it?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Then it's not functionally the same thing, dipshit.

that does not in any way diminish the "fun" in it does it?

Jesus christ you are an insufferable debatebro. Had any normal user done what you did, they'd been banned. Despite you being a condescending smuglord and me therefore treating you like one, it's still probably only me who's gonna catch flak once the rest of your clique wakes up and you can cry to them about it. Eat shit.

so you can't dunk on the same people as before, they have to be public figures now?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

yes, according to you guys the purpose of dunking is for it to be fun and cathartic, it still is if the dunking is on public figures , therefore it is functionally the same

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (2 children)

so for someone that finds dunking fun and cathartic, can they still perform the function of dunking on someone who isn't a public figure in c/gossip?

so it's not functionally the same?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

i already explained in what sense it is functionally the same

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

so it's not functionally the same in all senses?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

thats what functionally same means, that its not literally same

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

okay so if you're going into semantics, can we agree that the term "functionally the same" means two things that have the same function?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

okay cool, now could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?

does rule 8 contain this text: "Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this."?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yes, but we barely if ever saw any posts that used this exception

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But under that exception, it would be allowed for someone to post a bad take from comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views yes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

okay, with that exception in mind, could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yes, if they were from federated instances

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

and the_dunk_tank and c/gossip have the same rules, aside from rule 8 where it now also links to counterpropaganda, correct?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Those were inattentively copied from the_dunk_tank, i removed reference to that rule 8 in c/gossip now, now instead the rule is just that subjects of a post must be a public person

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

ah gotcha, it's good to set the rules up clearly

so now there is no exception for posting private figures on c/gossip, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

and the_dunk_tank held the function of providing a place where users could post a bad take from comments/posts made by a private person that have low amounts of upvotes/likes/views, provided that private person made that post or comment on other instances that are accessible from hexbear, yes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yes, but as i said it almost never happened

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

so the_dunk_tank and c/gossip are not functionally the same now, or at least as of around 15 minutes ago, correct?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes, though the difference is minor

Go back to reddit, oh my god you are an insufferable lib smuglord.
You expect others - the site culture at large - to move towards one focused on effortposts and development of rhetoric, yet you yourself cant even be fucking arsed to have basic decency. You can't even be arsed to engage with the arguments, not even in good faith, but just at all. Being a reductive dipshit is sad loser behaviour, go kiss a worm.
