Man i had no idea there was gonna be a vote like this today. I was just talking bout the 'bear over there too. Pardon me for being out of the loop but what happened? Mods from hexbear kicked up a fuss? From db0? Can someone point me to the drama?
I'm not being critical of you here, but I've seen a few people now mention they didn't know any of this was going on. I sometimes miss big struggle sessions and wonder how in the hell that happened, me being the modlog-reading extremely online dork that I am, so I get it. But in this case, there has been a voting thread pinned for over 2 days on the topic. Do people just not look at the pinned posts?
Yeah, that makes sense. If the megas don't interest you and you're used to them being the only things pinned, then you're likely to ignore pinned posts in general. That probably is the case for a good chunk of users. But if someone is used to ignoring pins in general, it seems to me that they probably shouldn't be too surprised when they miss something like this.
If the dcrats can forget to hold their convention in time to get on the ballot in Ohio surely a few nerds on a forum can be forgiven for missing a post for 2 days.
that's longer than i have showered
I've never taken a 2-day shower, either.
Ey ya got me. I do... Sometimes look at them but i try not to get into fights between comms like that. If i saw the sticky i missed the importance and thought it was just more lib-dunkin.
I am glad to see there was more warning about the vote that my ass simply missed rather than it being something done on a whim, and glad the vote turned out the way it did regardless as i would have voted to remain fedded
Since you asked and everybody just talked about it but didn't actually link it, here's the thread that caused the whole thing.
In case you're interested in the ensuing discussion, here's a link to the fed/defed vote post.
