Nobody’s been happy with counterpropaganda, and we’ve heard you loud and clear.
El Chisme continues to remain the new space for posts that would have been at home in The Dunk Tank.
Your description is definitely not the way it’s being presented in this announcement post. Maybe having gossip as a new community instead of a renaming an old one would be a good idea. That would allow much more room to explore what the liberatory aspects of the act off gossiping would look like, instead of being the place where people are looking for the twitter drama they’re used to.
I’m really not clear on what the intended usage of each community is, so I can’t comment.
My main issue was that people’s concerns about renaming a community to a term that “was used as a misogynist, oppressive tool against women” were being dismissed. I hope these concerns are taken more seriously.
I’ve had plenty of issues with how things have been handled, but I think the situation is trending in a better direction. Best of luck in finding the best course of action and in communicating your decisions clearly.
