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 think this is the perfect use for post tags when lemmy 1.0 comes out. if you can block all posts with a certain post tag you will be able to have one community and people who dont want to see 5 upvote comments can block that tag out
