I kinda expected everything to blow over, I didn't think anyone would step down. It makes more sense for things to go back to where they were (with fixed comm names of course), and the mods and admins stepping down due to mental health issues can safely exit, but the remaining ones who stepped down as an apology should stay (assuming the toxic ones are dealt with or selfcrit properly).

What needs to happen, more than anything, is an open discussion on how sitewide changes should be proposed and voted on that includes more transparency, that's what it seems like everyone wants.

I see no reason for @CARCOSA@hexbear.net to step down, as the messenger of controversial news.

Those are just my 2 cents! I know everyone has put a lot into this, and has strong opinions. My only strong opinion on the matter is that there needs to be more open discussion and transparency, major sitewide changes can be held with a more open system. That's it!

I love having a space with everyone here where we can all have fun and be ourselves, and I really think this is a minor struggle session unworthy of requiring anyone to step down that is doing so to atone.

Anyways, I'm gonna and for a while. The people more invested in this drama can keep hashing it out, I'll return in a few days when this has hopefully blown over.
