Benevolent dictator? Really? Seems like getting bounced for cursing people out is a very basic and mild response in society, not “ho ho this monarch is making up the rules from whole cloth!”
- finnthehuman 7y ago"Benevolent dictator" is a fairly well known term from the open source world that (taken generically) means the person in charge of something so informally organized there is no process for decision making beyond the person in charge doing as they wish.

No one expects the owner to be truly impartial in that scenario, but we do expect that of Wikimedia foundation.
