>>9784280i mean the logic is somewhat sound: someone hears developers complain that leadership is restricting them, so the higher leadership thinks "let's have a developer lead the developers then"
for the most part we just need to be handed problems to code, pay, and almost no policy interference unless it's absolutely necessary and things will get done
>>9784291did you miss that arc? in, uh, 2017 or something? SCP admins decided they were gonna plaster LGBTQ+ stuff over everything in support of gay pride or something, which caused a mass exodus of users away - the rationale was exactly the same as the GG stuff from years before brought back, and the leadership that made the decision had gradually worked their way up from back then
the tie-in is mostly my own, but that was a significant moment of internet cultural history and while it led to current political developments, the actual damage inflicted by GG to sites i'd call a loss, as it threw everyone too "radical" for the left away from mainstream internet sites
