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.

I mean that kinda proves my point. They don't know what a directory is because they spent most of their time on computers(phones and tablets) that hid the file system from them. It's not like it's a particularly hard concept to grasp.
I'm struggling with this notion of something being hard to grasp. I don't think that's an intrinsic property of the concept itself so much as environmentally determined; they don't need to know what a directory is, so they don't ever learn it, and when it comes up in a classroom, it's so removed from their daily experiences that some of them never seem to grasp it.
I dunno, it's a dialectic a guess.
yeah I agree. My main gripe is that instead of one environment that everyone uses for computers, bazingas make this weird caste system where they interact through computers in an actually robust environment, and make the masses interact through a dumbed down interface that can't do anything. The justification is usually some dumb aphorism about "the user being dumb" which is just ego stroking BS.
