    I'd say less bitter and cynical than hurt and reactive. Bitter and cynical, you can't fix. Hurt and reactive, you can Commented Oct 24, 2023 at 10:49

    Well said. On the site I'm most active on, TeX.se, at least half of the top 20 users have PhDs in a variety of disciplines and most of the core TeX developers are active on the site. But your main point is not so much that, but about principles that we share, and this is something that is what makes the SE communities special. If those principles don't continue to be respected and in fact encouraged, the sites will quickly lose their value. Commented Oct 24, 2023 at 14:50

    There isn't any space for bitterness and cynicism if the expectations were low to begin with. More like hope a (real) competitor could emerge and kick them in their collective <censored>. Commented Oct 24, 2023 at 15:30

    Mithical, can you please mention in the post what is there in the Teams link which you have added, for non mods? Commented Oct 24, 2023 at 15:40

    @RandomPerson I think you can gather from the context of the post here that Mithical is referring to continued (post-strike) efforts between mods and staff to address the gaps/issues in communication between company/staff and moderators/curators/other "power" users. That is, continuing the efforts of the negotiations that led to ending the strike. Commented Oct 24, 2023 at 20:59
  • @This_is_NOT_a_forum instructions unclear. which collective would you like me to kick? Commented Oct 25, 2023 at 15:39
