Set aside your thoughts on dunk content.

As the main base of this site, we, the users, must call for Carcosa to rescind their resignation immediately.

It is apparent to me that they are a widely beloved admin, and from the 2 or 3 times I have interacted with them, it is obvious why that is the case. Their approach to the administration and moderation of this site is admirable, and I worry we will be lost without them.

As has been stated in other threads, if they feel stepping away is for their own well-being, we must respect that decision and simply thank them for their excellent service to the site.

That said, please join me in showing our appreciation and admiration for Carcosa.

    STALIN–“Comrade Molotov–the most dedicated to our cause. He should give his life for the cause of the party.”

    MOLOTOV–Coming to the speaker’s tribune completely admits his mistakes before the Central Committee, but he stated that he is and will always be a faithful disciple of Stalin.

    STALIN–(interrupting Molotov). This is nonsense. I have no students at all. We are all students of the great Lenin.

    VOICE FROM THE FLOOR–We need to elect Comrade Stalin as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

    STALIN–No! I am asking that you relieve me of the two posts!

    -Speech by Stalin at the Plenum of the Central Committee, CPSU, October 16, 1952.

    Get back to your post, soldier.

    I see absolutely no need for this @CARCOSA@hexbear.net. This is just adding fuel to a very silly fire. Granted, it didn't need to be started but also it's very very silly. It would also be very very silly if we lose the top admin every single time something doesn't go smoothly. You probably feel bleh right now, but push onwards and that feel will pass.

    +1 reject the resignation

    I move Carcosa be reinstated immediately as there was no vote on this decision.

        And so we can have both? Both of you have contributed in very real ways to the site over the years. We don't need to have just one top admin. We don't need that kind of hierarchy. Go take a break, do something kind for yourself, take care of yourself, and then hop back on that horse and get back to contributing to this community in the ways that only you can. Nobody is asking for you to step down. We just want to shitpost. Hexbear can handle all of these things at the same time, we are capable of it.

        Getting tc is great but there's still no need to lose an admin over a comm closure being slightly mishandled. Let's put this in perspective, it's NOT as big an issue as the slop eaters have memed it into and I am a slop eater lol

    I also really DO NOT want Carcosa to resign 😬😬😬😬😬

    Repeating other sentiments about Carcosa being level headed

    I think self crit at most rather than resignation or stepping back from decision making over 1 "bad" decision. Seems very impulsive considering how many good/correct decisions were made over the last 4 years which easily could have been inflection points to losing the balance of intersectional Marxist interests and degrading the community into a state of decline.

    Based on the last 4 years believe Carcosa should stay an admin and stay in decision making.

    I think this was the first time I've seen a problem with how the site was being managed, so that's a pretty good track record overall.

    I think it would be a shame to lose a historically quite good admin over this.

    I want to throw my hat in here and say that CARCOSA has been an exemplary admin in all of my interactions with them. Always responsive to problems and issues, always willing to hear feedback, and continually supportive of events on Hextube; their stickying of movie threads on the home page has been instrumental in establishing a consistent userbase there. The very fact that CARCOSA does not seek to be admin is precisely why they must be one.

    CARCOSA, come back!

    In light of Carcosa's statement it's clear my reaction in the megathread was based on a misunderstanding concerning Carcosa's doomed but valiant effort to instill some human values into the rest of lemmy, it unfortunately backfired and me and others uncharitably assumed the worst, so I publicly apologize for that

    Paranoia and a lack of trust clearly won the day and to my shame I aided in that, but I hope Carcosa rethinks their decision and once more takes their rightful place at the helm of this experiment in leftist forum-building
