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.

Hello users of Hexbear, there have been many changes and some drama the past few months.

The recent changes we've been making have been an attempt to create a more safe and welcoming environment for many demographics that have been overlooked in the past.

For any of our comrades that have been unintentionally hurt in this process, we apologise and hope to find a solution that accommodates as many people as possible while still meeting the needs of the marginalised groups who need a space like this the most.

The intent of this post is to provide a space for all users to air grievances with regard to the site. As well as provide suggestions for specific things that could be changed to address your grievance. Comments insulting the mod team or those without a specific means to address your problem may be removed. No commenter will be sitebanned, unless it clearly breaks the code of conduct.

I think I like this idea. We already have the Code of Conduct, which goes over rules and a "line" to a certain extent, but I feel like it would be great to have either a whole section or a completely separate document dedicated to a detailed "line". I think this hypothetical document/section, as well as the rest of the code of conduct itself, needs to be regularly updated, or at least gone over, with the dates of both edits and reviews kept track of. This could also make it so when struggle sessions occur, they are productive. Ideas that go against the "line"/COC would have to have a good reason to override the existing line, and it would make it so that the line could be easier improved. With that last part, something that comes to mind are the recent struggle sessions about fatphobia. A stance against fatphobia is something that should exist, either in the Code of Conduct, the hypothetical "line", or both, but it currently doesn't.

CoC has not been updated in quite a while. I would like to see a thread asking for suggestions for changes (I know this will be a struggle session).

Interesting idea I'll put it in the proposals to make sure it doesn't get lost, thank you
