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
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?
no
so it's not functionally the same?
i already explained in what sense it is functionally the same
so it's not functionally the same in all senses?
thats what functionally same means, that its not literally same
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?
yes
okay cool, now could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?
after rule 8, no, before yes
does rule 8 contain this text: "Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this."?
yes, but we barely if ever saw any posts that used this exception
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?
yes
okay, with that exception in mind, could users perform the function of dunking people who weren't public figures on the_dunk_tank?
yes, if they were from federated instances
and the_dunk_tank and c/gossip have the same rules, aside from rule 8 where it now also links to counterpropaganda, correct?
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
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?
yes
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?
yes, but as i said it almost never happened
so the_dunk_tank and c/gossip are not functionally the same now, or at least as of around 15 minutes ago, correct?
Yes, though the difference is minor
This whole subthread has been
what was the point of this conversation?
