what should a meme discussion channel be called?
cloud quartz
what?
brazen parcel
?
rocky grail
rw-meme-discussion might as well be called rw-meme-shitposts
that'd be more accurate
cloud quartz
I'm not following you laura
clear scaffold
yes
brazen parcel
I'm not following you laura
options 1 and 2 both include "replace rw-memes in its current state with a gallery and discussion..."
rocky grail
keep the shitposts and talk in the shitpost channel
clear scaffold
yeah
cloud quartz
so then its just pinning memes in a seperate channel really
rocky grail
same as #art-discussion and #vanilla-art-gallery★ are doing
cloud quartz
options 1 and 2 both include "replace rw-memes in its current state with a galle...
I wasn't talking about those options
brazen parcel
then why vote one of the two of them
we're talking about whether to do option 1 or 2
because those two are the ones voted for in the poll
cloud quartz
I don't understand how we both are confusing each-other right now how did this happen 
brazen parcel
if what you want is to rename #rw-meme-discussion then you can vote for that option
cloud quartz
that's not an option though
brazen parcel
itd be under do nothing
gar wants a discussion channel and i want to try out a discussion thread
alongside a gallery
clear scaffold
itd be under do nothing
that is not an option
brazen parcel
clear scaffold
it is an option to dislike the other options
cloud quartz
I don't want any change, just a place for the high quality stuff to be stored like a gallery and for the channel name to be changed, that's not an option listed
clear scaffold
doesn't mean "do nothing"
brazen parcel

thatd be a starboard
brazen parcel
doesn't mean "do nothing"
would wouldve happened if that was the most voted?
clear scaffold
we would have suggested different options probably
brazen parcel
like renaming the channel etc etc
rocky grail
react with stars to a message for a bot to pin it once it reaches enough
clear scaffold
when enough reactions in a post, the bot automatically pins it to another channel
cloud quartz
automatic pins sounds bad
oh wait
okay no that can work?
but I still don't want that to be in a thread
brazen parcel
no option 1 is for the discussion to be in a thread
and for the gallery to be a channel
cloud quartz
the starboard was a thread though I thought?
cloud quartz
oh okay
rocky grail
option 3 basically leaves #rw-meme-discussion untouched and adds a new channel for the starred memes
brazen parcel
yeah
brazen parcel
ok now that this has happened i dont think a community vote was the best idea
imagine how many people dont have the right impression of what theyre voting for
cloud quartz
the voting stuff has been really confusing to me
brazen parcel
i really feel like a trial period of both gallery options would be the most effective way to get everyones opinion now that a gallery is pretty decided in the poll
gotta go study now tho
cya
brazen parcel
- rw-memes becomes a gallery with a discussion thread
- rw-memes becomes a gallery with a new channel for discussion
- rw-memes stays the same but a new channel for bot pins is added
- all the options suck
cloud quartz
I would prefer a combo of option 2 and 3
flint wagon
1) rw-memes becomes a gallery with a discussion thread
2) rw-memes becomes a gal...
Now there’s a 5th option
Guys listen to me listen closely
onyx matrix
just say it
flint wagon
- #rw-meme-discussion allows threads but the rule is that a thread will only be posted on if there’s a link to the meme it’s discussing, and if there are off topic threads it’s our choice whether we discuss it or not
onyx matrix
that is not a good option
flint wagon
I think this option keeps the channel and allows discussion as conversations are cataloged
onyx matrix
nobody would use the theads and rwmemes would still be offtopic
flint wagon
nobody would use the theads and rwmemes would still be offtopic
We must use the threads
flint wagon
If that’s the case there’s o good option then
onyx matrix
ok
flint wagon
if people use threads the issue would be fixed
onyx matrix
well they won't unless we force it probably
flint wagon
well force it
flint wagon
exactly
onyx matrix
yeah
flint wagon
the thread rule I stated should ideally be unwritten
but if that can’t be established make it a rule then
onyx matrix
why
onyx matrix
what's th benefit of being "allowed" to make threads
they'll still go offtopic in the channel
flint wagon
what's th benefit of being "allowed" to make threads
We must have a rule with them
like I said
Unless the meme is linked don’t post in the thread
onyx matrix
if it's "allowed" what stops anyone from not making threads
onyx matrix
and discussion goes in threads
then what's the channel for
flint wagon
then what's the channel for
posting memes
onyx matrix
so option 1 but with multiple threads
flint wagon
yes
onyx matrix
(chaotic and bad to moderate)
flint wagon
Not really as thread titles allow you to keep track of discussions
@brazen parcel Can you help me
@onyx matrix He’s about to team with yellow lizard
uhhhh
onyx matrix
<@!345758324580417546> Can you help me
however laura when you see this can you confirm or deny it'd be hard to moderate multiple threads
onyx matrix
So threads are bad?
are you readin my messages or
flint wagon
are you readin my messages or
You say they are hard to moderate so threads are bad?
onyx matrix
i said having MULTIPLE THREADS THAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE AT ANY TIME would be difficult to keep track of
flint wagon
i said having MULTIPLE THREADS THAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE AT ANY TIME would...
Hmmmm….true but we can just focus on active threads
onyx matrix
hhuhh
i'm just trying to argue that havinf people be allowed to make multiple threads at any time is not a good idra
brazen parcel
ye that
onyx matrix
and there should not be a separate one for each discuss
which is how i'm interperting what you're trying to say @flint wagon
flint wagon
and there should not be a separate one for each discuss
That’s what I wanted
discussions to be isolated
so they can be archieved
just as threads are supposed to work
basically no server uses threads
brazen parcel
most servers don't use threads because they're yet to find alternate uses for them because user created threads are hard to moderate
we're looking at having a permanent discussion thread
flint wagon

So threads are a bad feature
brazen parcel
cuz I feel like they'll work here
flint wagon
we're looking at having a permanent discussion thread
Okay now yellow lizard has a argument
brazen parcel
nooooo
onyx matrix
yes, when used as discord wants them to they are a bad feature
brazen parcel
a channel won't have user created threads
onyx matrix
because it suggests "MAKE A THREAD" for every reply chain
brazen parcel
it's whether the discussion should be in a separate channel or an attached, purposemade thread channel
onyx matrix
yeah
brazen parcel
also 59 
votes nice
feels like votes are split
we should ask a data analysist how to interpret 2 polls where voters can see the results where option 2 got 50 stray extra votes the first time and just didn't get them the second time
flint wagon
a channel won't have user created threads
Hmm okay then why did discord make them?
if obviously they are a terrible feature no one uses
onyx matrix
Hmm okay then why did discord make them?
do you think we know
rocky grail

but no one uses this feature so…..
somber creek
Not like the dudes in charge of discord have any idea of what actually happens on their platform
As it was said before, the way they intend threads to be used is absolutely awful
To get use out of them, gotta use them differently, like option one in this vote
brazen parcel
yeah it's definitely a gamble to see if they'd even work but I really think they would here
and it's not that risky at all
because thread message history is archived within the search of the channel it's attached to
so it'd be hella easy to switch out of using one
if need be
somber creek
For now, if we take into account the votes that will be added at the end, option two still has a fat lead
flint wagon
so it'd be hella easy to switch out of using one
Thank you
THis is why my idea is good
and it's only for this channel so...
not saying you should do this for art
(though that would be a good idea)
but....
onyx matrix
the only good option with threads is 1
whole locust
I wouldn't say threads are a bad feature when used as intended, in small servers where moderation is not too hard they can be appreciated. But that's beside the point here, this is far from being a small server.
brazen parcel
this definitely isnt the intended use tho
this is a permanent comment space sub-channel used for discussing the images on the side of the screen, for people who have gone into the meme gallery and clicked the channer link #930258321594806342
where people whod rather not discuss memes dont even need to have it as a side bar
meager snow
oh I thought there would be different threads for each meme in the gallery
otherwise making a thread instead of a channel is kinda pointless
brazen parcel
well there are 4 points to do a thread instead of a channel 
- split screen with the gallery images, 2) people who dont want to see the discussion can have just the gallery visible (without affecting other muted channels), 3) people who dont know how to read channel descriptions wont offtopic in the discussion like happens all the time in rw-memes, 4) chat history is archived alongside the rest of #rw-meme-discussion if staff want to swap to something else in the future
somber creek
I still don't think the fact it's a thread actually will avoid off-topic because it's gonna be treated by most people like it is its own channel regardless of split screen
At least i think
somber creek
I don't think that'll happen less, but i may be wrong about that
Hard to predict people's behavior
brazen parcel
yeah
i feel like the benefits of a thread over a channel could be a lot less understated tho
somber creek
To me the only real big benefit is the split screen
The hiding thing is imo extremely minor
The off-topic we shall see i guess (assuming it gets chosen, which for now it seems like it's losing)
But the switching possibility does make it risk free to try
brazen parcel
people dont know how they work or trust them so we arent gonna be able to try them out
somber creek
Seems like the way it's currently going yeah
brazen parcel
yeaaa
brazen parcel
its a shame cuz if staff organised to try out each option for a period of time people might see that they arent so bad
somber creek
The way discord presents threads they just look like discount channels or glorified reply chains
Which makes all of its potential benefits unknown because it doesn't even look like it's worth discovering at first
brazen parcel
yea
i mean we have a solid base of people whod be interested to try it out
just -70 cuz of the weird poll stuff
somber creek
Before this specific thread we're talking in was created i was also considering threads as pointless but now i see their potential as channel extensions thanks to splitscreen
brazen parcel
yea
somber creek
Personnally i voted red and yellow because both are really similar
brazen parcel
yeah
when yellow gets voted in, my bet is on that the channel is spammy and goes offtopic really often, and staff end up making it into a misc-spoilers channel and moving it to the community tab cuz itd work better there
then maybe ill ask for a meme discussion thread and itll be as if we tried them out from this poll
somber creek
I don't think it would be worse than current meme channel
onyx matrix
well the point is for it to be better
brazen parcel
I don't think it would be worse than current meme channel
itd be the same as the current meme channel but without any of the original memes
somber creek

it's a shame because it relies on the meme not getting instantly buried under conversation, which happens sometimes

sharp quail
1 party system. We are just anti-reddit thread
brazen parcel
genuinely gotta form a 1-2 coalition at this point
cuz the first day of the vote showed 2, the rest of the vote post reset is showing 1
brazen parcel
yeah
static thunder
and everyone knows
because thinking is hard but being dragged arround is very easy
brazen parcel
2 separate polls where everyone can see the current votes leading to 80 extra votes for an option one of the times but not the other
like direct proof of the snowball effect, and really shows that the active community are split on whether to use a thread or channel
so staff should definitely try out each one for a set period of time
static thunder
ok. since not the same amount of ppl voted in every poll, could we use percentages instead of numbers when mixing both polls datta?
if we count the flat difference that would be arround 70+ for option 2
meanwhile if we count the percentage difference (arround50%) is just arround 40+ for option 2
both polls had different amounts of ppl participating
idk which one is more "mathematicly fair"
somber creek
If at the end there's a big difference, it won't matter
brazen parcel
the issue is at the end of this poll its clear that after 6 days on a fresh reset, the vote is pretty tied
which strongly implies snowballing affected the first day worth of voting
in the future a voting bot should be used that hides peoples votes
itd solve all these problems
itd feel like a far fairer vote no matter which wins

How to make a meme channel: Josbird - i feel like making now boop
How to split a meme channel: Over 4 months in critical decision thinking, the council creates a senate of the finest minds in the community, a democratic vote was formed. The countless minds discuss its final ultimatum. Included a catastrophic incident, comparable to a scandal, where ballets were sent to the void, never to know who it belongs to. It is a most interesting time of all events.

don't forget the catastrophic ballot loss and subsequent suspicious reset of the vote

sharp quail
Gunna be included in total
brazen parcel
sadly
cunning loom
democracy is lame
democracy is cool when you have INFORMED voters
this is an issue, as people with a lack of knowledge about the system will do what "feels right"
i think that results in:
option 1 is second most popular because people like the format but don't know enough about threads to know whether to choose it
option 2 is most popular because it's the most familiar format to everyone in the community tab
option 3 i would argue is basically a better version of what we have now. i would like to have an improved experience that still has the same "vibe" as what we currently have
option 4 is self-explanatory. people won't vote for it because the entire reason for the poll is that most people would agree the channel needs to change
(i still want an option 5)
sharp quail
Option 5 is to nuke memes and use the reddit

i feel like the threads aren't supposed to be muted
it just feel wrong to have an entire channel that already has a ton of conversations in it mind you changed to gallery and making a new "channel" for talking
plus threads aren't supposed to be replacing an entire channel, they are more of a offtopic option if 2 conversations appear in one chat
also, if the option 2 would be considered i would change the name to rw-meme-talk instead of discussion
plus what was the upsides to using threads again?
split screen for both channels and...
@brazen parcel can you remind me?
brazen parcel
these
I've had problems with the NEW UNREADS thing for normal channels before tho tbh
onyx matrix
i've accepted we're probably not winning
and at this point, i just want change
since whether it's a channel or a thread it's going to happen
wooden pilot
torbie you sound like a defeated army general
onyx matrix
what
swift parrot
Ok threads are not going to win but threads are the exact same thing as channels except you CAN hide them you can split them and they are attached to the channel they are for there are no downsides that they don’t share with channels. So what’s wrong with them. In this case threads are objectively the best option
brazen parcel
Ok threads are not going to win but threads are the exact same thing as channels...
yeah
i think enough people are vocally against threads that it just kinda snowballed into 1 wack vote and 1 notquiteenough vote for the staff to just ignore the bunch of peoples want for them
swift parrot
And if someone has the problem where the thread doesn’t automatically show up. The staff could get a bot to keep the message at the bottom of the channel.
brazen parcel
true, and #930258321594806342 could be in the gallery description anyway
swift parrot
I invite anyone to tell me what’s wrong with threads
And don’t just say “it’s bad” tell me WHY it’s bad
brazen parcel
inaccessibility, but allowing people who dont read descriptions into a discussion for a gallery where people should be staying on topic isnt the best idea
swift parrot
Yeah but a channel probably is even worse for getting off topic
brazen parcel
exactly yeah
the slight inaccessibility would help moderators keep the channel on topic
brazen parcel
I invite anyone to tell me what’s wrong with threads
and some people assume threads suck because they arent good for their "intended purpose" of users creating them whenever
but like thats not whats being asked for
swift parrot
If someone wants off topic go down litterally 5 channels to this neat place called #misc-pan-chat
brazen parcel
other flaws uhhhhhhhhh
people are unfamiliar with how they work so it might take them a second and thats bad because uhhhhhhhhhhh
swift parrot
The human attention span is truly a wonder
brazen parcel
swift parrot
I invite anyone to tell me what’s wrong with threads
That’s the problem with option 2 but yeah
True
brazen parcel
ok 1 flaw of threads is that the search in the thread is for the combined channel and thread
swift parrot
Yes but gallery won’t have msgs
brazen parcel
but i think thats fine because the channel will be a gallery yeah
otherwise threads have pins in just the same way as a channel
swift parrot
More people need to see this chat
brazen parcel
one percieved flaw is that 144 people voted against threads but im certain that the first day of polling suffered a lot from the snowball effect
swift parrot
The beginning of it all
undone totem
or people just liked option 2 more
brazen parcel
because the vote was reset and left to everyone to vote again and a completely different outcome happened
so clearly people didnt just like option 2 more
undone totem
theres clearly a lot of missing re-votes
swift parrot
I don’t think people read that long msg and just decided to vote the most popular thing
brazen parcel
why would they be missing then
and why would only votes be missing
(if they arent just snowball votes)
undone totem
people didnt feel like voting again or havent looked at the announcement
brazen parcel
a new message was sent in #server-announcements and the numbers were set to 0
why would only people choose not to vote again
if it wasnt that they actually didnt mind so much about the outcome
i.e. snowball votes
swift parrot
Yeah
undone totem
one could argue that red is getting snowball votes rn 
brazen parcel
true
swift parrot
No
brazen parcel
so the vote should be redone without people being able to see the number
brazen parcel
OR staff could do a trial period of each option
swift parrot
Or google forums
brazen parcel
i just dont think adding 80 to the yellow votes is going to satisfy the community here
brazen parcel
Or google forums
there are probably discord poll bots that hide the reaction totals
if staff dont want to use external votes
swift parrot
I guess
brazen parcel
anyway, im not about to be confrontational about it
itll just be a shame
given yeah, there arent really more downsides to threads than channels, if any
and the upsides to threads are awesome and interesting
lol i was against threads too at first
then i thought it through
swift parrot
… people don’t tend to like thinking much
swift parrot
Trueee
brazen parcel
yeaa most of peoples arguments against my asking for threads have been "but how do you KNOW people will be less offtopic", "people will still be some amount offtopic so you're wrong" and "well if we make this a thread we'll have to make THIS and THAT a thread too, its a slippery slope"
or just "there arent THAT many benefits to threads"

there are probably discord poll bots that hide the reaction totals

snowball effect issue
we should simply make a poll with hidden results until the end

option 1 is currently winning in poll 2

Indeed
But option 2 is winning overall
I like yellow lizards which is why I voted for option 2

#modding-quick-support is where danish people go (cringe)

Anyway, I’d be fine with option 1 winning since both 1 and 2 are practically identical, but I still see no reason to try the thread system when ive seen much more thread complaints than channel complaints
Though to be fair #modding-quick-support is a channel and that’s where souls go to die so perhaps the time of the channel is over

I've stopped caring about the poll I just want a discussion channel/thread
please mods end it

if any staff see this: please close this thread and just create a gallery meme channel

welp, when ppl isnt happy can you blame them for fighting for what they believe in? im pretty sure taking over the city and executing the king in 1789 was also pretty ilegal

lmao what

would be a power play from staff to just not create a discussion anything
though if they make a channel, turn #rw-meme-discussion into the discussion channel. That way we get 50 new pin slots for memes!

option 1 is option 2 with extra steps
robust wasp
rain world memes pins at the moment are all memes already is the thing
but that doesen't matter
really

having a basis in already posted memes will help people only post memes
robust wasp
which is why we need a new channel for gallery
brazen parcel
and passel already unpins so we have as many pins as needed
robust wasp
a clean history of memes so people don't think it's a discussion channel
brazen parcel
if #rw-meme-discussion becomes the discussion then the pins will start to move slower and so the pins from that channel in the buffer 50 wont be put into #pins at the same rate
brazen parcel
also staff can do this
for like "only image posts below this point"
easy enough and it doesnt completely remove the ability to consider having a thread

Archiving thread now, we'll tally up the votes tomorrow & go on from there, any future discussion about the format can go either in the relevant thread/channel (starboard seems to be a bit too far behind to catch up at this point aha) or in #misc-pan-chat
Thanks for participating everyone 
this was our first community vote in quite a long time and we've definitely learned a lot from it. In the future we'll probably use a bot for voting so reactions aren't visible & so that vote loss is less of a risk from random outages.
