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 actually have separate suggestion (and one i'm absolutely guilty off not doing i realized), mainly to posts to gossip/cth, but i'll make it here to maybe get some feedback: if one posts dipshittery from twitter with editorialized title (expressing general frustration etc), one should put in the body of the post some small searchable tag or description, because searching posts is a pain in the ass (guess how i arrived at suggestion).

But, i would like to know in general how search works? if i put three words in, do i get a match on post containing all three words or is it fuzzier? (does it have proximity score of three words closeness and ranks results accordingly, or is it match/non-match on three words and the results are arranged randomly?)

(Or maybe we should strive to helpful policy of image descriptions to help people using text to speech?) meow-floppy definitely don't think it should be 100% or immediately enforced though, but nice thing to strive for

Search is kinda fuzzy. It works by searching for the letters in order. So "UN AR" will search for the letters "un" with u first then n right after, but it can be anywhere, so "aunoriginal" will satisfy that part. Then it will search for "ar", after the UN part has been satisfied—so it can't be before the "aunoriginal".

I specifically chose UN because have fun trying to find anything about the United Nations
