I think we have a general path forward based on community feedback. "We see you, we hear you!"

I went ahead and unpinned the old post. I'm pinning this one for now and will edit this post when I wake up from eepy time. I had a very mid week and have no particular alarm set so be on look out. Love y'all and I'm amped for my first announcement post since coming back. :)

    I think you're overthinking it. The problem attempting to be solved by messaging the other admins was not "dunking" it was their drama communities doing harassment campaigns (against vegantheoryclub most notably), and trying to bait other instances into doing the right thing and shutting down those harassment engines

    The issue with that message (IMO) was mainly that it happened before the public announcement here, and that it conceded our dunking as shitty/harassing and analagous to those drama comms on other instances, which it isn't. I guess the idea was that the lib instance admins would see that capitulation and apply the same critical eye to themselves, but obv that didn't work given the lack of response from them

    The context switching/tone difference between addressing users here, vs addressing other admins there, is to be expected and shouldn't be held against carcosa
