[Stinky mod mistake]No more contrapoints posts in slop. Use pop culture for well known internet posters. (hexbear.net)

~~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

I think it is because Hexbear is used by many of its users as a refuge away from the bullshit on the rest of the internet, so they don't want to see that stuff on hexbear. I'm not sure, I'm not too bothered by any of the slop type comms, and when one is really annoying to me (like fakenews) then I just block it. I would assume anyone who is frustrated by slop content has probably already blocked the comm though, and is more annoyed when non-slop comms have slop in them.

But if that's the case, why are they on c/slop which is explicitly made for shitting on the rest of internet?
