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
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"
Yes, I am concern trolling. When it was originally brought up, I said "new name? more like pee pee" but now, I decided to concern troll. A cabal of 3 users decided to upvote that comment, and that was when Chapo Chat descended into reaction.
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
