How are we feeling about c/slophouse

Show_Trial

Name it after a podcast no one here listens to

Peoples_Court

Locking these comms was a mistake, and trying to ban "low effort" posts will kill the site long term. We're a shitposting social media site descended from a shitposting subreddit. Shitposting is part of our culture--a big part. If you ban low-effort posts, you're not going to get more effort posts--you're just going to get fewer posts. A lot of people come here in part because they can post some essay or take by an esteemed Elder Statesman or Media Thinker and say "look at this dumb shit." Not only is that important to site culture and participation itself, lots of deeper engagement comes along with that activity.

Reopen dredge, and change the name of the other one.

the people want c/slop

c/slop

So little followup about the reasoning for the removal and so on. Not trying to stir up a shitstorm, but I am personally still a little bit confused about the reasoning and so on. One of the users that were dismissive and hostile about the concerns of closing down the two coms, turned out to be a moderator of the dunk tank. I guess I should have thought to check beforehand, but I'm lazy like that. Anyway his comments in the thread and his attitude about the dunk tank and his vibe towards those that liked it gives me a bit of a better idea of what the whole line of thought was for shutting down the comms

The dunk court has a nice double meaning too in that we are bringing our subject before the court to be judged.

i like my slop, i will be eternally mad at the powers that be taking it away from me, no this is not sarcasm. i am upset

c/the_firing_squad

I suggest to change whatever the new main Dredge/Dunk tank replacement is to

• /c/pit

or

• /c/Barbara_Pit

We need our fun little space to talk shit about reactionaries and bond over making fun of them. I like the Dunk Court and the Dunk Pit myself; I always thought the way we used dunking here had more to do with basketball so “the dunk tank” never clicked as the carnival game with its racist baggage in my mind. Mods stop being silly

I'm throwing in for /c/slop or /c/the_trough for replacing dredge_tank

Just unlock the dredge tank and let the slop flow through there.

Oooh can we suggest names? I've got one or two ideas

Okay a bit shorter list of names, trying to repost those in this thread and the other that I've seen get positive feedback^[By Positive feedback I mean either something got a lot of discussion or a good amount of upbears, which is completely arbitrary, but I tried not to be. I'd put points next to the thing, but since no thread is locked, there isn't really any way to make that definitive] + My own personal favourite

the_hog_roast - where reactionaries go to get cooked

or just any kind of riffing off of roast, since it's already used to mean the same thing as dunking but without the history

throwing in my vote for "c/heckling"

putting my 2 cents in for the hog themed ones

I fully support this. The changes are weird and pointless and will lead to fragmentation.

Why not the dunk pit?

f we put those that we wish to dunk on in a lower area it will be easier for our shorter comrades to reach the rim for a dunk. The pit also allows for easier clean up.

How about intead of Dunk we use Slam? In baseball they have the same meaning and we get a little farther away from the racist meaning

c/posterized

I fully support this but I am biased because I suggested the name in the other thread

Dunk Court is now in session

I'm in, gonna go submit a mod... umm... whatever it's called when you ask to be a mod.

I suggest c/atharsis seeing as many people have made the very good argument that it’s good for their mental health to see other people bullying horrid status quo takes

If the mods are gonna just direct people here. We're gonna request they fix their mistake. I don't know what the plan here was.

Unify the slop sources under the banner of the dredge tank
