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.

A thought about federation (hexbear.net)

There's been discussion of federation with Lemmygrad. I think this is probably a good call. I just want to know how the anti-sectarian rule would be enforced. Like, it someone makes an anti-anarchist post on lemmygrad.ml and it shows up on hexbear.net, would the moderators hide the comment on our end but not on Lemmygrad? Would repeat offenders be banned from hexbear.net even though they made the comment on a different iteration?

Same for one of the bigger anarchist instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone which has good leftist and trans content but also has regular struggle sessions about "tankies." It seems like federation with then would be a boon for both sites, but moderating the left unity rule would be a nightmare.

Also, another thought: would downbears from other instances carry over here?

I really wanna know the answer to the downbears. For such an insignificant back-end change, I think removing them did a lot to shift site culture for the better.

I believe the way it works is that on lemmygrad if this comment got 400 downvotes it would show up at (time of writing) -395, but anyone viewing from hexbear would still see +5

What is better about it, though?

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

They didn't really help filter out low-effort content and we're mostly used as an "I disagree" button. Removing them meant it took a little bit of effort to dogpile someone and the site seemed much friendly after they were removed.

Of course, it means we can no longer down vote wreckers and trolls to hide their comments, but the mods usually ban them pretty fast anyways ( rosa-salute to our mods )
