    it’s important to note that the admins on dbzer0 act independently of each other. they don’t communicate or plan every single post, which sometimes leads to them publicly arguing about admin decisions, which is delightfully refreshing and transparent. I really like it.

    but i wouldn’t hold any of the admins aside from unruffled for this post.

      I would. I’m not sure how dbzer0’s governance works/is supposed to work because I, quite frankly, don’t care, but the other admins tolerate unruffled’s behaviour. They made them an admin and they’re choosing to keep them around. They might not be directly responsible for unruffled’s actions but they’re enabling them.

        dbzer0 is an anarchist instance. db0 is the person.

        Anarchists don’t believe in hierarchy, so all admins act largely independently from one another. i’ve spoken to db0 before about how hierarchies work in an anarchist online forum, but didn’t really dive deep enough to fully comprehend how it works. either way, db0 did say that the userbase can oust an admin if they are no longer happy with how they act. They don’t always tolerate unruffled’s behaviour and there have been some cases of back and forths between admins in the modlog where they unban and reban and unban and repeat

        perhaps you can ask them about it in a good-faith approach?

          Edited.

          ETA - Also, when I said I don’t care, I meant it. I don’t judge people’s actions by their ideals and intentions, I judge by the outcomes. And the outcome is, well, this.
