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"

Yes for the reasons stated in OP, but also because the actual subscriber count for both is abysmally low and merging would give more exposure.

And if merger occurs, there should be a clear rule that public figures must have their name mentioned in the post title to distinguish from anon posts.

Also just realized if the users per month of both comms were combined it would be the most viewed comm on Hexbear lol.

I don’t think it would end up with combined stats. IMO it’s probably mostly overlap.
