~~Slop is meant to be for posts from random internet users or other lemmy instances, not posts from people with actual influence over a significant number of people~~.

Haha I'm not good at this. I thought pop culture was the comm that was created at the same time as slop but that was gossip.

Seems gossip got merged.

Oop

original posthttps://hexbear.net/c/popularculture

Use /c/popularculture for Hasan or contra or whatever. If the mods there say no contra then that's the way it is i guess.

I haven't consulted anyone about this so if a more senior mod wants to contradict me i get it.

Agree or disagree in the comments I'm pretty easy to influence so argue if you want

TBH I don't think there's any need to justify banning contrapoints posts because they're rage bait, because I don't know if they even are- I can't read her mind. It's just that her posts are just her being an asshole in a very boring and predictable way, and it's not really that fun to make fun of. Trying to ban "rage bait" presumes that the mods have an ability to perfectly discern the motives of whoever gets posted here, and that's not really a good framework.

Idk, sometimes it's not that boring or predictable. I had no idea where her comment about pretending Stalin was Hilary Clinton or whatever was going and thought it was hilarious.

I get your point, there’s always a potential can of worms when something is up to the vibes of the mod star chamber rather than a cut and dry rule. However, this change is just as subjective, it’s mod discretion as to how many followers one needs to be “influential” (especially given how many influencers pay for bot followers).

She's just boring. She's mostly smug, which isn't particularly interesting to me. The best slop have a degree of unhinginess to it, and Contra just doesn't make that threshold.

The Israeli ambassador bringing a mini-paper shredder to shred a mini-copy of the UN charter while lecturing the world about them shredding the UN charter is delicious slop of the highest quality. Every Contra slop posts so far is a snoozefest in comparison.
