Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

I tend to purge my account around once a year for opsec but I want to keep this username for when Chuck kicks the bucket. How would I go about that? Also if anyone has any username recommendations that would be appreciated.

There's a million things you can do for opsec because opsec varies based on your perceived enemy. If you work for the Krusty Krab, opsec would mean not letting Plankton learn the Secret Krabby Patty Formula. Spongebob knows that his perceived enemy is the Chum Bucket or other rival fast food franchises.

If you don't identify a perceived enemy, you could be wasting your time or even not protecting yourself at all. If the perceived enemy is just a vague fear that a government is coming after you, as a rule of thumb, don't post anything on the internet that you wouldn't want to read in a court room.
