Nah, it's a democracy. Hi! I'm that mod in question. Man we protested for the users, that's why all of that happened in the first place. I'm also the mod that started the discussion with the community about blacking out, and if the option was to either get a few people mad by having my hand forced by spez or seeing the place turn into kotaku in action? I'll take the heat, I'm fine with that. I'd do it again.

My concern first and foremost is the people, I'm fucking PISSED at what spez pulled (and made that VERY clear in our return post) but he forced our hand. If they hand the place off to some of the random mods reddit has in their pocket for this kind of situation or anyone that requests it, it could fuck up the community. I'm literally a mod because I care about that not happening. And that didn't change just because spez is a dickhead.

I'd prefer to see us migrate elsewhere. Until that happens I'm gonna do my best to make the sub the best environment possible for what we do. If that makes me a turncoat, I'll own it, because this ain't about my ego dude. It's about the users. And I'm damn sure not being paid to do it.

Oh we're doing the anti-bike thing? Fun! Riding a bike to work for me would take 3 hours. Not everyone fits in the same mold.

Rock and stone!

General, another settlement needs help.
