| Nov 28, 2019 at 5:36 | comment | added | dfhwze | @Piskvor I noticed those (selective?) variations in voting limits as well. And some 100+ liked comments also disappeared in a couple of recent posts. | |

| Nov 26, 2019 at 16:07 | comment | added | The Anathema | @Alex That doesn't make it any better. It implies that our judgement is somehow faulty because we simply don't understand their reasons. Both ways of interpreting that statement leads to the same conclusion of being condescending and deflecting responsibility. | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 11:54 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @Trilarion Oh, I do. I think that's well-documented. & persistence is fine but tunnel-vision is not. | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 11:43 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @LightnessRaceswithMonica "This. Sara is one of those people who is so dead set on doing the right thing..." Being dead set on something doesn't have to be a bad thing in general. Sometimes persistence is even seen as a positive trait, depending on the goal probably. But I just wanted to say that singling out a person is the wrong approach here. The CTO backed Sara publicly and the CEO is proud of the new development. She is basically covered and the whole management of the company is in it together. If you want to blame someone, it's better to blame the whole management of the company. | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 6:18 | comment | added | dfhwze | @LightnessRaceswithMonica When listening to the podcast between Sara, a white feminist, and Kim, a black feminist, it became apparent Sara felt she, as privileged person over black women, did not do enough to protect this group. I think much of her latest actions and policy changes of the company have been heavily influenced by this conversation. I advise you to listen this through, just to get Sara's situation, whether you agree with identity politics or not (hashtagcauseascene.com/podcast/sara-chipps). | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 3:02 | comment | added | mason | @LightnessRaceswithMonica I received a warning from moderators recently for talking bad about staff (and I don't even think I took it as far as you). I know you said you don't care: but just lettin ya know. Half of me wants to write a blog post about how wrong it was, half just wants to say "screw this site, it's not worth my sanity anymore". | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 2:42 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | I will say that we moderators have been asking for training on many issues for years, this is actually something we really want. At least for some topics specifically. I definitely don't see that part as talking down or being insulting. | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 2:33 | comment | added | Alex | I'm a little confused about the "reasons we don't understand" thing. The blogpost reads: Long-time users can be surprised by things changing out of the blue for reasons they don’t understand, I understand that to mean that things are changing for reasons they don't understand, and that surprises them. It sounds like you are reading it as saying that they don't understand why they are surprised. Am I missing something? | |
| Nov 26, 2019 at 1:14 | comment | added | This_is_NOT_a_forum | Yes, if the real problem is that staff members (and some other users as well) are downvoted on meta because of who they are and not because of what they say, the solution should be to change the software such that voting on meta is only on issues and proposals (dissociated from any particular user), and only after some process with a number of phases (much like moderator elections). It would also be much easier to change the software; people are very, very difficult to change, even if they are initially willing to (it may even backfire). | |
