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 still think it takes a significantly larger amount of time to teach someone to read and write than it is to teach someone how to program. My point is that if it were that simple, corporations would have jumped on that ASAP and made it a commonplace skill, because then they wouldn't have to deal with worker shortages and they no longer would have to pay these people a living wage. I also think It's more akin to teaching someone stonemasonry or woodworking or something than it is basic literacy, and personally I refuse to spend any extra hours of my time having to deal with programming. I already have a job and I barely have time for my hobbies, I'm not going to spend my time learning how to do someone else's.
