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”

    Please don’t change your mind. Just leave us alone.

    Hard to do that when she’s also a mod of /c/slop lmao. I feel like there should be a rule that mods have to believe in the purpose of the comms they moderate. Imagine if a mod of /c/vegan is someone who thinks vegans are whiny and preachy. How could anyone possibly trust that mod’s judgment or not be suspicious that the mod would attempt to sabotage the comm by virtue of not believing in that comm’s continued existence?
