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"

IIRC, the post tagging feature (and filtering by tags) is something in the works in mainline Lemmy, isn't it? I think that would solve the main argument in defense of having separate comms (e.g., people not wanting to engage with [screenshots of] the 10-followers-on-Bluesky bad take havers).

I'm just suggesting putting the text in the title, but actual tags and filtering would also be a very good feature, especially if it's less awkward to use than reddit's dogshit "flair" system where the filter is just doing a search for specific flairs.
