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.

We're just posting anti-union propaganda on the fediverse now?

Are y'all at least getting paid for it? fedposting

How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we're just propagandizing against ourselves.

I feel like it's just a step in the wrong direction, the fake news comm I suppose someone can find amusing, though I blocked it pretty much immediately, while this just seems like you'll just invite the wrong crowd. You see it mentioned all the time that the "ironic" racism of 4chan invited in the non-ironic racism (it was all racism) and this could just as easily invite non-ironic anti-union people or just pain the entire site as anti-union.

R/The_Donald was ironic for approximately 6 hours before it became the largest trump forum on the internet 48 hours later

Because pretending to believe stupid shit is just going to make people who unironically agree with that stupid shit think they've found a home.

And then you being ironic doesn't really matter when the 30 people who genuinely believe it drown out everything you have to say.
