Weird, I leave for 2 weeks and the place goes to hell.

Stop caring about dumb internet drama and post good shit.

No, we will not be having a struggle session about this in here because we need to win actual power and not spend days arguing about dumb shit that some fellow in Langley is posting about on chapo.chat.

      I think it's less the content of the drama and more the fact that one long epic post by a power user derailed the entire community

      I sympathize, I think anytime "drama" comes up especially in places you're not expecting it people can overtime get callous to it. Big part of being a Lefty is having the mindfulness and responsibility to not let yourself succumb to it.

      That being said, it seems like everyday is a "struggle session" for one reason or another. I think it's fair to say it gets grating after awhile.

          Not trying to advance anything, I didn’t really care about any of this until I saw Beatnik acting like an asshole, sorry if it came across as me using the situation for my own reasons. Seeing that really pissed me off and I got needlessly heated about it. I’ll delete the original comment, my bad again

        Petition to remove all mods and admins and add a feature to democratically manage this community?

          Please. Things can only get so online. A gabbling mass of screen poisoned yanks fighting over the control levers is a lovecraftian level of bollocks

            I think it'd be better than the current situation. Have a vote for banning users and stuff, majority rules.

              What the hell no, that would be insane, imagine how much of a nightmare it would be if you had to vote for every small action mods do and it had to have a delay of like two days so most users would get a say. Shit would fall apart fast.

                I'm thinking you would get a sample of like 10 users before performing an action as big as a permaban. Would only take a few minutes. You don't need a thousand votes to get a good idea of what should happen and what shouldn't. There would be no mods, it would all be run automatically and power would be to the people. Might take some time to build but once it'd be done it would be a definite improvement imo and decisions might even happen faster considering there's maybe a couple mods but hundreds of people online at any given time.
