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. :)

    First off about Carcosa stepping down, if this is not about your mental health, please don’t. This isn’t on you, if anything you have more than proved your capability of being a great admin by remaining civil and keeping a cool head despite the clusterfuck of a thread that was the last one.

    I think everyone here can agree that the old comm had racist connotations once researching the name, I also had no idea until I looked it up. The real problem with the changes is that you’re essentially trying to force a culture change on the site. While I’m personally not at all opposed to having a community for doing more serious counterpropaganda work in an organized manner, this doesn’t cover the need most users here (including myself) have of simply taking a dump on stuff we see that pisses us off, without having to do serious Marxist analysis and refer to sources etc.

    I believe we should keep the dredge tank just like it is, rename the dunk tank to one of the names proposed already in a recent post about it, and open up a new community for serious counterpropaganda work.

      Though I do feel a part of the issue is also the shitty behaviour of some mods and this being one step in a long line of dogturds shitted out by them.
