As mod on that (gossip) comm I agree. To be honest, I also think it’s unnecessary to have two separate dunking comms based on whether someone is a public figure or a random person. A lot of times that distinction can be quite blurry, and I don’t blame people for choosing to post in Slop instead, as that is the more active comm.
Reunite El Chisme and Slop to a single comm, and remove slop’s rule #8. “Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip”
I suggest we merge them into a community referencing a container that you would throw or perhaps… dunk trash into, maybe some kind of tank.
I still contend that changing the name to the dunk court would’ve fixed the problem with a single word and actually represent what dunking on our ideological enemies really meant to everyone using the term
this 100% but i suppose we’re slop pigs now
i had to smh at the last dunkmetapost when we had an admin say that “dunk” terminology is racist, like way to misunderstand the entire reason for changing the name from dunk_tank. like nobody and i mean literally not a single soul on the entire planet or any other place in the galaxy is referring to dunk tanks when they say “dunk on 'em”
The trash can
The dumpster
The origins of the term dunk tank are really fucked up. They might seem innocent today, but they were part of the oppression of poc
Dunk tank has racist origins and it was worthwhile to separate ourselves from that term
Fair, I was just trying to do an admittedly bad bit about coming full circle to having a single comm for all the slop posts.
