Musdummy wants to make the booru a general art website to expand the userbase

>Say I upload a picture of Goku or something and tag it with media:dragon_ball and character:goku, does that make sense?
why exactly is this needed?. what's the point in allowing shit thats not even related to site culture? the soyjak branding and requirement has been stretched really far, but at least it's stayed within the realm of plausibility for something to be called a soyjak or a caricature/wojak adjacent at the minimum. a meximutt isnt a soyboy but it's within the culture of country wars and racism that are staples of the 'sphere. gigachads and frogs are allowed as NAS because they are also principal to the site's ecosystem and posts. its already kind of tiring to open a post and see completely unrelated shitflinging over snca drama in the replies, but now imagine its fighting over something not even indirectly related to the site that you didn't even know existed because you hide NAS posts. if i wanted to post and discuss nerd shit or media unrelated to soyjaks, i would go to /mtv/ or /pol/ on the sharty.
>there appears to be a larger drive for people who want to create and art that is not soyjak related but want the community of the booru.
musdummy and the sharty jannies probably don't like this answer, but thats sort of the purpose of this site (as in the forum). already a great majority of namecaca from the 'ru also post on here. frankly i think the requirement of soyjaks force drawcaca to be more creative, i've experienced this myself trying to problem solve 'tosses. but if they are firm that they don't want to include 'jaks in their work but want the 'ru response, again, you can come here. if the intent really is "allowing art from community members that dont feature 'jaks" it doesn't change that with how broad that statement is, which is ripe to be exploited for attentionwhores and other bad actors.
If these are added, what stops the 'ru from just becoming a lower-traffic clone of some shit like danbooru with drama?
constraint produces culture, and when you remove the constraint, you remove the identity.

I’d consider the shroom booru if it didn’t host tons of NAS

The "NAS" problem is only a problem for those with small drawing skills. For those who can draw well, it won't be a problem at all. For some reason...

tl:dr soybooru’s current NAS policy works because allowed NAS is still culturally relevant (Pepe, gigachad, etc.). Expanding to unrelated media dilutes the site’s identity, encourages low-effort or attention-seeking posts, and is unnecessary since general fandom discussion already exists elsewhere in the 'sphere. the constraint of soyjaks actually fosters creativity and preserves the archive’s core culture.

if people don’t like musdummys new policy because it allows culturally irrelevant NAS, then no one on the planet is using the shroom booru as an alternative. Why would you use the shroom booru if it’s just gonna be the same but with way less people

 

[Zonky]

No offense to the people who run the shroom booru but I’d rather just use Pinterest at that point

I didn't even know there was a separate booru here.

I don’t think anyone was seriously asking for this. I genuinely believe that this is just something musdummy wants to do. I’m not seeing much of a movement advocating for this change. I also just think it’s gonna make approving things noobhell

No user who is not a shroom user needs to know

to be fair shroombooru was never intended to be a competitor to soybooru but rather as a well, generic image archive for a specific website, that is shroom

 

[Zonky]

I don’t know there isn’t much justifying this change it’s incredibly obvious that ((they)) just want to strip the identity of the website so that it includes more people

The fun is about to begin for the orange badges..

Which is fine. But anyone advocating it as a serious alternative isn’t thinking

At the end of the day this is all meta whining but what else am I supposed to do about stripping the booru for parts?

Continue to be an obedient musdummy boy and become the next admin, after which take over soybooru and roll back the changes.

But seriously, this will deal a serious blow to the "soy" in soybooru and you can only endure it or leave it
