Set aside your thoughts on dunk content.

As the main base of this site, we, the users, must call for Carcosa to rescind their resignation immediately.

It is apparent to me that they are a widely beloved admin, and from the 2 or 3 times I have interacted with them, it is obvious why that is the case. Their approach to the administration and moderation of this site is admirable, and I worry we will be lost without them.

As has been stated in other threads, if they feel stepping away is for their own well-being, we must respect that decision and simply thank them for their excellent service to the site.

That said, please join me in showing our appreciation and admiration for Carcosa.

Carcosa is what I would consider a Rightly-Guided admin. They've always been responsive and judicious from everything that I've seen.

We've had controversial policy changes before, even larger ones than this and they're never easy.

Ultimately I accept the reasoning behind closing dәnk and drec; I think anyone who's that attached to them has probably been engaging with them to a level that can be characterized as mental self-harm. I was talking with a friend just yesterday about how sometimes it seems like we're constantly fixated on people whose opinions we will not change, and have this morbid commitment to locking ourselves in the dialectic of opposition. This is not just rent-free, this is a whole public housing project in our brains.

Give me one thousand cases of a misguided person who's half-right but stumbles into incorrect conclusions, before even one case of a wilfully ignorant, egotistic Australian college student trying to be edgy while having a 9-year-old's understanding of the world.

Also I do wish that other people across the lemmyverse would see this instance as a fierce bastion of altruism, like I do.
