Set aside your thoughts on dunk content.

As the main base of this site, we, the users, must call for Carcosa to rescind their resignation immediately.

It is apparent to me that they are a widely beloved admin, and from the 2 or 3 times I have interacted with them, it is obvious why that is the case. Their approach to the administration and moderation of this site is admirable, and I worry we will be lost without them.

As has been stated in other threads, if they feel stepping away is for their own well-being, we must respect that decision and simply thank them for their excellent service to the site.

That said, please join me in showing our appreciation and admiration for Carcosa.

i mean it's a puppetshow version of how real organizing happens, right? an organization flourishes through the efforts of a small number of people who are contributing the majority of the time, effort, and resources, and even if the structure is pretty horizontal or the administrative group is transparent and open, detractors will inevitably focus on how their outsize control and influence signifies that they are separated from the rank and file.

That might be true, but the mod team statements have also given me the impression that they don't view themselves as part of the rank and file users and, in fact, hold us in contempt
