  • 757 is a narrow body jet, its also very long and looks oddly proportioned.

    It is a 777. The 777 has a very distinctive APU exhaust outlet. This clearly has the 777’s exhaust hole on the left side of the tail. Every other modern jet has a centered APU exhaust outlet at the back. The APU exhaust is the obvious tell for a 777 when its hard to descern the scale.

    Also the landing gear. Two main gear with three axles each. That configuration is basically only the 777 or the largest variants of the a350.





  • Control. Unions get a seat at the negotiating table. With a union things have to be done by mutual agreement, and the workers have recourse if things go wrong. Being a manager is much more powerful without a unionized workforce, finance notwithstanding.

    They often personally take unionization as an insult or betrayal, so they try and get revenge using the one thing available to them at that stage. With overwhelming support, it’s only a matter of time before the vote passes and they are forced to recognize the union.

    This is not uncommon. Managers want to rule over people without restraint even in nonprofits.


  • Moderator actions are public. They are all documented in the modlog, including promotions and removals of moderators. This is nothing like the tesseract situation. All mod actions are all logged, and published in the standard place where anyone expects to find them, and are free to review at any time.

    I think moderators upon removal should have the option to leave quietly and on their own terms. I don’t think the reasons for their removal should be made into a big public spectacle in a case like this where their conduct wasn’t even egregious enough to warrant a community ban at the time.



  • This shouldn’t have been an announcement. Its fine to remove moderators and enforce standards within the team, but you can handle these situations gracefully and quietly. The exact individual makeup of the mod team isn’t relevant to most of 196’s visitors, especially in this case where you claim this won’t be a major change to moderation.

    It seems disingenuous to claim this isn’t a condemnation when you’re dumping screenshots and pinning this post for maximum visibility. I agree with many here that transparency is important, but similar to modlogs, this should be posted somewhere those interested can find it rather than shouted from the rooftops.

    You can and should separate amicability without involving all of us.
