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 find it boring" is so funny since it's also going back on previous statements. Real galaxybrain hours, who's up?

        It’s not galaxybrain, it’s obvious wrecker shit. Nothing was wrong until somebody with power got bored?

        Uphold TC69 thought, ban motherfuckers who start struggle sessions over explicitly BEING BORED. Maybe a struggle session wasn’t the intention, but that can’t possibly be a good enough reason to have started this

          I edited it to be less mean than what it originally said lol
          Yeah this is the most old-school-forum bs I've yet experienced. Some losers make a massively unpopular decision, they delude themselves it's only disliked by [bad groud], they hide behind leftist rhetoric, constantly change their reasoning, yet they never ever do any self-crit. It is typically a mod that'll do this, because they're experiencing being a "leader" (being a mod isn't being a leader, but this is the first time they feel they can tell others what to do) and they powertrip over their dick and either get mocked and kicked out or kill the forum.

            Literally.

            “We have to turn this into every other dead leftist forum because I, the true leftist, do not think it’s serious enough”

            Ok mf then be serious. Where are your effortposts?

            Actually wait yeah. I need every person involved in the discussion about making the site more serious to produce 2 effortposts they’re already made from their account

              "But also it doesn't have to be serious, I like the unseriousness, just not this unseriousness, so therefore it's bad"
              It's really just the "stop having fun" meme

              Some real show-and-prove type beats; I'm bout it, let's see 'em

          TC69 probably isn't who you want to be invoking on the issue of silly arbitrary changes by admins against the wishes of the userbase...

            What exactly was silly and arbitrary about the changes in the TC69 era? Mandatory pronoun tags, removing downvotes and mass-banning transphobes have all massively improved site culture.
