"It's a heckin admin genocide!" They got serious (again) about purging inactive admins in 2019 and bigtime in 2023, when the criteria were tightened. The first major purge was in 2011-12. For about ten years, a few hundred inactive admins "skated by" and were tolerated, by doing the barest minimum ...

Good. If there's an actual "rule" now, I hope they start purging some of the worst ones. Because in the past there were no procedures for desysop, it was a "popularity/unpopularity contest" with copious backstabbing and psychological warfare happening in IRC or elsewhere. Remember the deranged shits...

Thanks to his ego and desire to punish those who disobey his commands as Lord Administrator of Wikipedia, after ensuring an editor receives an indefinite TBAN from closing discussions at WP:CR, he has created a culture of fear where editors are afraid to close discussions.

I tried a couple of these Wikis and it seems to link to WIkimedia

No they're not, they are hostile competitors. Show us the "links" to the WMF.

Good. Hope they go to Chapter 11. Then I will be able to buy a Model 3 for dirt cheap and slap FUCK ELON stickers all over it.

He really should be mentioned in any such discussion, because he was not only crazy and semi-...

Musk is very rich which doesn't make him right about anything in particular or likeable and definitely not cool. The way Tesla stock is going, SpaceX might end up being his only major source of wealth. It's unlikely but I hope it goes all the way down into Chapter 11. Then I can buy a used model 3 ...
