I mean my main gripe originally was posting this in the news comm with big exclamation marks acting like this is big important news. The headline is literally just “somebody is considering primarying a Democrat!” It’s nothing. Not news even if you are pro-electoralist.
This was met with such doubling down and pushback that the clown on the succ session has to be started up
Just for future reference, if you do not like the post because you disagree with its content or where it was posted you can just report it if you find it egregious enough, or hide it, and then you actually do not have to engage with it for several hours btw
I’m aware of what goes in c/electoralism, I’m a mod there. I posted to a different comm because it has a different audience. Again, you’re absolutely free to ignore any post that induces rage in you for hours at a time, no matter where it is. In fact, I’d recommend you do just that, and everybody’s experience will be much more fruitful.
If you think I’m in egregious violation of the rules for where posts belong, please do report it
I am a mod here and I do think this solidly belongs in electoralism instead of news. That said, I’m loathe to nuke a well populated and generally respectful thread like this. In the future I request you post stories like this to electoralism and, if you must, crosspost your threads in news so that I don’t have to feel bad about blowing them up.
hi this is a fantastic decision that hexbear mods have been historically extremely draconian about so thank u very much for reading the room and letting the people post!!!
I can reach all kinds of “different audiences” by posting content in the wrong place!
I’d advise that if you feel so strongly about a post being in the wrong place that you mention it once, report it, then leave, and the community and moderators can decide. Once you do, you are actually free to be on your merry way, unhindered and unburdened by things you don’t want to see.
If you have read this far, frankly, I’m not even sure what you are still doing here other than ragebaiting yourself. You are not trapped here right now on a post you allegedly think is not newsworthy and don’t want to see, nor are you being forced to continue making contributions, both meta and not. What if you just let yourself enjoy the rest of your day by blocking me or ignoring this post on a niche leftist online forum?
Yeah a different audience that specifically cares about relevant news.
I understand this is important to you, so here’s a novel idea moving forward: you leave space and time for the audience of people who do clearly think this subject matter is relevant news, and you can go make a meta post somewhere else where people might commiserate with you? Then there will double the posts in appropriate places with appropriate discussion.
You are now armed with the knowledge that you can happily go continue this discussion elsewhere, or you can simply disengage in this meta tangent you’ve gone down on this post and discuss the subject matter of the post instead.

In the future, c/electoralism accepts all posts about rumors of primaries and nobody will make fun of you there

Completely reasonable! I don’t think it doesn’t belong in electoralism, I just thought it could be a post that goes in either
Yeah a different audience that specifically cares about relevant news. Not rumors of primaries. We are here, not in electoralism for that reason.
I can reach all kinds of “different audiences” by posting content in the wrong place! Interesting how that works
