mass update favgroup:57343 -> meta:first-party_source_checked

imo if u just want a tag to signal that you actually checked the post comes from a first party in spite of the source being a site full of third parties you should just call the tag that

"unconventional" is a terrible name for it if you can't define what sources count as conventional and which do not. like... is reddit unconventional? discord? telegram? is posting mesugakis on linkedin unconventional? do i have to check the wiki every time i post from a new site to figure out if i have to tag the source as unconventional or not?

That tag name doesn't make clear its use at all, because now you conceptually made it so that Twitter et al sources count now too, because those sources can theoretically be third-party source or second-party source too, so you better tag that you checked it's a first party source too.

"Unconventional" isn't a terrible name at all, because only someone who has never used the Internet would ask what counts, and if you're doing so you probably aren't part of the intended audience for the tag to begin with. Like, Reddit? LinkedIn? Those are still social media platforms with artists who post their art there. Discord? Telegram? You'd think those are unconventional, but only if you try to think of them on the same level as Skype before them, when Discord/Telegram's use has escalated far beyond a chatting program to being the platform of huge communities (which is part of why it's so hard to find an alternative in light of recent discourse). There would probably be use for there being a site example list after the changes though.

i'd say reddit is an edge case as a lot of communities on there are still third-party repost-driven, but the other examples are only unconventional insofar as they're an unpopular source on danbooru.

linkedin in particular is the opposite - there's no incentive for someone on there to go around reposting art, and all the incentive for an artist trying to build a portfolio to show off their work.

Willing to concede on that, that's a consequence of them trying to turn what was originally just a content aggregator (digg-core) into a social media platform, so it's very much got a culture of reposting, but the question is whether we consider it closer to imagebooru reposting or Twitter reposting. The underlying point still stands though, which is that there's a ton of artists on Reddit uploading their own art to the communities they frequent, exclusively even.
