I think perchance dev should duplicte the comments plugin and build that into a forum, using perchance accounts and usernames, and switch perchance from lemmy to that.

recently i managed a new record downvotes on lemmy with a post that involved both ai and meta and portrayed niether of them as terrible. every time it was touched, it went in front of lemmy users for a fresh batch of downvotes. i bet i could have gotten more downvotes if it mentioned trump without saying hes bad. Lemmy is an extremely leftleaning place and maybe thats fine and the type of ppl dev wants anyway. the issue is how lemmy largely hates ai and perchance is on a path to more, and not less ai.

I know my post was not the first involving ai to get pushback from the larger lemmy. it happens often. an extreme one was: I recall someone made an account to post supportively of perchance ai image, and on their first post an anti ai lemmy user with no connection to perchance, that i know ive banned elsewhere, responded aggressively at them.

perchance person never posted again.

So Perchance gets unapologetically more ai. Shouldnt Perchance discussion, to comfortably talk about its feaures, not be in an ai hate zone? all the parts are basically built already. user accounts, usernames, avatars, comments... especially if vionet is gone, maybe dev should make a real hub with perchance discussion there instead of lemmy? if it were me, i would detour into that after stabilizing the ai plugins and before anything else. idk if community members that code have enough access to perchance user account data to code it. maybe? but it would also be terrible for a community member to do the effort and perchance not implement it. so to me it seems like a solo mission for perchance
