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.

longtime (20+ yrs) mega thread hater here.

they are stupid, yet people love them, so I am wrong I guess.

I just like the format of

SUBJECT: ________
BODY: ________
________
________
________
URL: ________
IMAGE:________
COMMUNITY: /c/________

Probably due to being too email brained

I think the megas should just be a chat window, since functionally that seems to be how they work (just shoe-horned into the reddit format)

I like it more than traditional chat software, the thread style makes it so much easier to keep up with the conversation

I just really don't like having to avoid thr thread as the deadline comes up :(

Their feed-like look make them an easy transition for bsky refugees at least.

Not quite a chat, because those move a lot faster. And there is internal threading more so in the megas for people to reply to each other. I'd prefer a mega to a chat.

I think its microblogging. But not sure it would be technically trivial to integrate a feature like that into the site.
