Hello everyone, Hestia here with a comm specific check-in. (hexbear.net)

I have come to the conclusion that meta-posts suck. They drain everyone of their energy, and they quickly fill up with essay long paragraphs that I have no desire or attention span to wade through and fuck up my mental health.

Rather than focus on site-wide issues, the purpose of this post is to get feedback on this specific comm. What issues do you see here specifically that you would like us to focus more on?

I hope to address problems in a pinpoint manner, and then cross reference those concerns across other comms through similar posts in order to address the bigger picture in the end.

I have no intention of having this post pinned. Too much visibility will drown out everyone's voices in a cacophony of noise. Please keep your comments relatively short and concise, using frequent paragraph breaks for longer comments so that the information can be easily digested. It helps with my ADHD

If this goes smoothly, I plan to work my way through other comms I moderate and address the specific problems there, too.

edit: I was advised to pin it to this comm, it shall remain unpinned to the main page though.

I guess I still get stuck on when posting a convo I was involved in crosses a line into being a personal vendetta. I shared a screenshot (as a comment, not a post itself) recently of a single comment with a horrid take from a thread I participated in. Is the fact that I replied to the comment enough to make that a vendetta? If my replies had been meaner would that have made it a vendetta? If I had screenshotted more of the convo and included my replies regardless of how mean they are?

If I repeatedly post that particular user, or purposefully follow them around to argue with them and post it, that seems like it would clearly cross that line, but what if I happen to run across another bad take by them without seeking it out? What if they start following me around to argue?

It seems like the “safe” side of that rule would be for me to not have posted about them at all since I did more than read their post.
