Hello users of hexbear after some discussion we mainly wanted to get your thoughts on the two pinned megathreads, one general and one news.
We’ve noticed that the news mega has basically become the general mega and the general mega has kinda slowed. Some are thinking that it might be time to tell people to stop posting random shit to the news mega because some appreciate the ever so slightly more serious, focused tone of the news mega
As of now there is not much of a standard for comments however we wanted to discuss with you regarding making a change. Where the news megathread is for discussion on current events and their history/implications for future while the general megathread is for commenting on one’s life, interests, or for shit-posting.
This would result in the news megathread being more heavily moderated to actively remove comments that are a better fit for the general megathread or off topic.
Please comment with any thoughts, opinions, comments, questions, or concerns.
Yeah! That would be Main! We could get the general mega back to being a daily thing.
A bit more moderation in the news mega would be cool. Jokes or shit posts as a on topic reply to a comment are fun and we don’t want the news mega to get too dry. I think top level shit posts in the news mega should be a no-no. ( jokes about
squad aren’t ever shit posts) Top level comments should be geo-political news and cometary only. Also reposts of the same links should be scrapped.
I agree with this approach and came here to post something similar. I think top level comments should be on topic, but the nested jokes/replies are enjoyable. If it weren’t for the clever replies I probably would check the news mega less often, but if they’re considered deleterious to the intention of the mega and the consensus was for firmer moderation then I’d understand.
