Out of 5 paragraphs of text, the only "apology" was "We’re sorry for the confusion and uneasiness that caused." which is the equivalent of spitting on someone's face and apologizing with "I'm sorry you felt spit on."
I feel like we're watching one of the pillars of modern software development crumble.
- markmark 7y agoWhy would they apologise? They aren't sorry they sacked this moderator. They fully stand by their decision.
- personjerry 7y agoWell, the title of the post is "An Update to our Community and an Apology" so we should expect an apology in there.
- markmark 7y agoYep, and they're sorry for the uneasiness and confusion. I'm saying they aren't going to apologise for the sacking itself, because they stand by it.
- humanrebar 7y agoSorry has multiple meanings in context. I can be sorry you got the hiccups during a speech. That's not an apology.
- MauranKilom 7y agoWell, for starters: - The moderator in question still wasn't told what they were sacked for. - There was no warning, no attempt at allowing betterment, nothing. Established procedure was not followed. - The moderator in question was not even informed of being let go - they noticed it incidentally while performing their duties. - They were "terminated" on a Friday, right before a major religious holiday requiring their absence online. The "apology" partially acknowledges this in an incredibly dehumanizing way ("ship on a Friday").
