Per the discussion in these two posts:

https://hexbear.net/comment/6630485

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 don't think there was a strong user push to separate them in the first place. Not that it means everyone has strong views against them being separate, but the split was pretty mod originating in the first place.
