Neither do I. I wish I knew exactly what to do, but every choice is sub-optimal. | |

| Nov 2, 2019 at 2:34 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | Intellectually I'll miss all the help you've given me in Ask Ubuntu over the years, and the website will suffer as a consequence. But emotionally I'm 100% behind you and I'll have to go to Ubuntu Forums and Arch Linux Websites more often. It's a shame because a large tight knit community is being demoralized by a miniscule political / philosophical community that doesn't even visit Ask Ubuntu. They're trying to make the gold standard yellow painted lead and probably don't even know they are doing it. | |
| Oct 6, 2019 at 17:41 | comment | added | Graeme | Real shame to see so many people that I respect in this community upset by SE's behaviour. I really hope that this issue get's addressed in full and proper manner. | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 15:17 | comment | added | user437611 | @terdon Didn't claim otherwise. | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 14:39 | comment | added | terdon | @Blue various people are objecting to and disapproving of various things. I am only speaking for myself here and my main issue is with the way a user was publicly pilloried and put in danger. | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 22:56 | comment | added | terdon | @JBis I suspect (but do not know) that most of it is down to the difference between being a small startup where everyone knows each other and everyone is deeply invested in what they're doing, and being a larger entity with all that entails. | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 22:47 | comment | added | user7886229 | @terdon Fair enough. Wonder why the sudden change in behavior... | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 22:37 | comment | added | terdon | @JBis They acted as they used to act: with decency, compassion and decorum. So much so, that even as a mod at the time, I don't know the details. As I shouldn't. | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 21:43 | comment | added | user7886229 | @terdon Is there any more you can provide us with? I think the comparison of how they acted then and now may be relevant (to show a pattern of changing behavior from SE). | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 5:13 | comment | added | user437611 | "I have no issue with any of the points in the current or forthcoming CoC. I do, however, take issue with the way SE has behaved." Well, I believe it's not really the essence of the policies per se that the resounding disapproval is against but the fact that these policies will possibly be enforced by the last kind of people you'd want i.e. who not only would claim that their interpretation of the policy is the absolutely sound but also that their understanding of the situations they're policing is always perfect and beyond public criticism (as is evident from Monica's firing). | |

| Oct 2, 2019 at 0:12 | comment | added | terdon | @muru probably not. I've let the other mods know but I'd rather not cause more disruption to the communities I love. I will post if this becomes a long term thing. | |
| Oct 2, 2019 at 0:09 | comment | added | muru | Will you be posting about this on U&L or AU meta? It's not necessary since you aren't resigning, I'm just curious. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 18:11 | comment | added | terdon | @RoryAlsop they absolutely have. They have gone above and beyond what could be expected of them. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 18:03 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | The CM's have been incredibly supportive, when they are allowed, and within the limits imposed upon them. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 17:59 | comment | added | terdon | @AnneDaunted it was quite a few years ago and I don't want to share details. I'm sure you can find them if you really want to. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Anne Daunted GoFundMonica | "SE reacted with more decorum and decency when a moderator had actually been arrested for one of the ugliest crimes a human is capable of." That's the first time I heard about that! | |
