you know the drill i’m sure, let’s not waste time. many of you have already noticed we’ve created the first batch of our six new communities, which are:
- AskBeehaw: a community which is exactly what it says it is, asking the Beehaw community stuff! this was our most popular community on the survey, and it’s also inclusive of AMAs or stuff like out of the loop (which overlaps somewhat with Chat–we’re fine with that).
- Tabletop Gaming: after some delay, the tabletop and boardgaming communities have their own section! this community is, as noted, inclusive of boardgames and similar things to them–we’ve already got a mod in the section looking out for that side of the community, so that’s nice :)
- US News: we’ve converted !news into World News (see here for why in brief) to accommodate that popular demand, which means that US News now gets its own community! in conjunction with us the community there is being cultivated by @Powderhorn@beehaw.org, who has quite a lot of news experience and has a pretty clear vision of what that community will hopefully bring to the community table. we hope you’ll like that vision.
other three communities should drop about next week, so be on the lookout for those.
as noted in the other announcement we’re also taking mod applications. we’re taking them for both new and old communities, so please feel free to apply over there if you’re interested. thanks
Was consensus reached on what the vegan/vegetarian community will entail?
i have absolutely no idea what we’re gonna do with that one to be honest. my personal opinion is that it’s probably not worth the headache if people are going to make it a battleground and that’s been the tendency since we announced it, but the other mods are substantially more optimistic on it than i am so we’ll see
What is the debate? They’re two quite different things really, aren’t there two communities?
Vegetarian/vegan subjects whilst accepting that not everyone has the same views. Anyone that will not accept they have the only correct opinion is free to move elsewhere.
I blocked one person yesterday as they would only accept their own opinion as being the correct one and tried to brow beat others in agreeing. We’re done with that here, let’s leave it on R****t.
