Literally 1984

Post whatever you like, but make sure to follow the rules. No thoughtcrimes.

The bot is very literal. "This" includes "is".

  1. Read this, and give your thoughts.
  2. No posting.

Big Brother is watching you.

MODERATORS
 

Hi all! Firstly, I want to thank everyone who has participated so far in this little experiment, I hope everyone had fun.

I have been thinking for a while now (and you will probably notice that no rule rotation has occurred yet), that things need to change somewhat to stay fresh.

The gameplay, right now, feels a bit stale to me. Maybe I am picking bad rules, but more likely, there's a problem with the core gameplay itself.

I am thinking, maybe the community should focus less on bot moderation (the bot has issues) and use traditional moderation instead. This would allow more subjective rules, and also would prevent the errors that the bot had.

I would like opinions on this; whether you think it should stay exactly how it is (of course adding more rule types as suggested), or should broader changes be made? Please comment below and let your opinions be heard!

I will have the community locked again for a bit whilst this is in discussion.

Hmm honestly I felt the staleness too a bit. Maybe it could be spiced up by adding some character (LOOOORE) to Big Brother? For example "Big Brother went to mine some diamonds but the eurasian supported creepers blown him up. Insert post rules" (Sry I'm just brainstorming)

The main problem that I wanna see is a better feed algorithm from the Lemmy devs, because currently the niche communities are never shown via Active or Hot basically, and I always have to search 1984 up explicitly by myself.
