  • I kinda get it as a policy decision. I don’t like it, but I understand the risk and I can empathize.

    What really bugs me though is this announcement right here and then it just… didn’t happen. It feels kind of dishonest to have a big announcement welcoming them back and then nothing comparative saying that they apparently changed their minds immediately. Feels like there should at least be an edit/addendum to this announcement being like ‘psych, fingers crossed!’. Trying to defuse with humor, I do know any statement would invite discontent from the userbase, but I feel like the complete lack of one kind of kills our trust in the admins here even more.
















  • The way the story goes… They didn’t explicitly fuck up, some dude just though two snakes looked cooler than one and we’ve just been running with it for a few decades now. There is a story about how it was originally adopted by military personnel who transported medical supplies (along with messages so… it would kinda made sense) but the justification there does feel super cherry picked. Mostly, the accepted reasoning is that the caduceus is just a better design.
