“there aren’t any mods online” yes, thank you for repeating my criticism back to me

i’m upset and i don’t even care about the OTW. how do the people who literally volunteer there not see this as hugely embarrassing?? do they not realize that this is the first impression MANY #EndOTWRacism / #VoteToEndOTWRacism newbies are going to have of their board/process/meetings??

“a conversation between 5 people” sure, in public, in a server with over 800

how are you not mortified??? how are you not doing everything you can right now to save face for your organization??

“although i don't have the power to moderate this server, as an otw volunteer i want to say that i am deeply embarrassed that this conversation was allowed to develop the way it did. i can’t speak for the otw, but on a personal level i want plural fans to know that i respect them and will always try to ensure they have a space here. i will be speaking with my supervisors to stress the need for an apology, and if you have any further concerns i encourage you to reach out to me, understanding that i am only a lowly tag wrangler.”

there i wrote the post for you that’s what you should be saying if you give a shit about the otw at all

made a dreamwidth post about it: https://hojarasca.dreamwidth.org/1035.html
