    The thing i disliked the most about this was mods being dickheads about the whole thing. Say that you're going to change the name, list your reasons, respond to objections, i couldn't care less. But the agressiveness and rudeness made me kind of pissed honestly. And then calling it tone policing when people disliked it? yeah sure act like dicks to people who share your worldview for petty shit like this, i bet it'll do wonders

        nothing more than putting their foot down after a community decision

        Wait are you saying this was a vote months ago?

            Every time I saw mods bring it up out of the blue, people said it was dumb. So it wasn't a vote? You made it sound like it was.

            "but I like offending people" uh huh, yeah I'm sure that's an honest characterization

            Anyway, since it's not an actual community decision, which is fine, the right way to go about it is to just not do cringe shit. Say yeah, we understand if you don't like it, but we have several good reasons (and there are). Naysaying an actual community decision at the 11th hour can be met with rude dismissal or whatever. And when someone is flailing around wondering "why am I getting such a bad reaction" it's really cool when "because this" is met with "lol here come the tone police"

              You need to see every thread or you're not a true poster

            For what its worth I have participated in some threads about the name and the vibe of the replies from sitemods/admins was always "Good points but we're gonna do this anyways"
            Not to mention the fact that the most recent one I saw was literally a nazi-malthusian troll advocating FOR the name change
