Can everyone please pull back on the Despair of the Day, bottle it up tightly inside and just…shitpost, shitmeme or shitcomment while you’re here. That’s the tottering crayon tower on which NCD was built. This is not the place for discussing politics seriously or going through the seven stages of anything. Thank you.
I think both @[email protected] and me very much care about this community and about how to improve it. Since this is a meta post by a mod, talking about the rules, I thought it’s the best place to talk about what we think about certain aspects of the rules, and how they could be abused. This is not an attempt to start up drama or to denigrate any work done by moderators, but an attempt at conversation.
I’m not a fan that that is met with the suggestion to go somewhere else and create a new community. People have grown attached to this community, and I don’t think anyone wins in this kind of all or nothing stance.
My apologies if a conversation about rules and their interpretation is not wanted here, but is there any other place to talk about meta topics like this?
I see your point and it’s well put. I assumed you were just trying to re-stir up drama between blahaj and NCD from last week. I should not have assumed that and you had nothing to do with that. I apologize for that and for my curt tone.
Thanks for the reply! I missed most of the drama, but yes, it was a mess and I can see why you’d jump to conclusions. I still think that rule 5 should either be removed/reworded or at least supplemented by some guidelines as to what constitutes ‘politics’, but I realize now this is neither the time nor the place to discuss that with the nuance it deserves. For now, I’m content with some very non-credible coping strategies for all the clusterfucks happening in the world. Thanks for the work you’re doing for the community c:
You’re welcome. That is kind of you to say.
Yall can talk about meta topics in the matrix chat, rules are more lax there. But I should tell you Rule 5 isn’t going anywhere regardless.
