Ouch. I understand exactly how things like that happen, but it is unfortunate. Hope it’s resolved quickly.

There is a tremendous amount of pressure on everyone in the development/admin chain right now because of the insane influx of new users. (I’m one of them.) It amazes me how well everyone has been handling it. And I am grateful to all of you!

I looked in on one of the subreddits I used to frequent. The moderator had posted a good explanation of what was going on, why they considered it unacceptable, and what they were going to do about it. That generated a long thread of people saying, “No one cares. You don’t matter. Get over yourself. Go away.” Those people have no idea about the amount of effort that volunteers make to manage things so they can live in happy ignorance.

I wish them well, but I don’t want to hang out with them anymore. There are better options.

Definitely, although it’s exciting to see new communities popping up.

I’m in a short-term crunch right now and don’t have time to start something, but in a week or so I will probably create at least one if no one beats me to it.
