Per the discussion in these two posts:

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”
given that hopefully lemmy 1.0 should be releasing within the first half of 2026 since theyve got the backend pretty much finished and are working on the UI now, i think the comms should be merged because post tags can accomplish the point of el chisme better than having 2 seperate comms would, because mods will just be able to change post tags if someone mis tags their post
