We collected, read, and catalogued ALL 2.7 Feedback
2 years ago
General
As many of you know and personally experienced, the ability to leave feedback regarding the 2.7 policy change was limited, and increasingly limited.
On 5/23, an official 2-7-feedback channel was opened on the FA Discord to receive feedback. Over 600 individual responses were posted before the channel was closed today 5/26 and no more feedback may be left, except through trouble tickets which are not public.
To ensure everyone knows what the feedback ACTUALLY WAS, what the points people were making, we began to read, analyze, catalogue and count up every single post made in that thread. We got through 262 of them, posted between 9pm 5/23 and 11:58pm 5/24.
We made a Twitter thread, with screenshots of the categories of each type of feedback/argument/point being made, as well as a full download of the channel itself: https://twitter.com/echoenbatbat/st.....130571778?s=20
We read and considered every single post, every pastebin link, every google drive link. We did NOT read any FA journals, Twitter posts, Telegram posts. Several thousand arguments made outside the channel are not accounted for. Hundreds from 'unofficial' threads also missed. But as far as the 'official feedback' goes, 43% is a decent sample size. Sorry to everyone we missed.
WHY DID WE MELT OUR BRAIN TO DO THIS?!
Now, the furry community and FA community can actually know for sure what the feedback was. What people actually think, said, wanted, or didn't want. Records. This is all just records. A record that someone said something, a lot of people said a lot of things, and there is a clear consensus on what the community as a whole wants from FA.
We have our own criticisms, feedback, ideas, desires... but rather than add to the pile, risk getting swept under the rug, or risk being ignored, we give all of you open access to your own community. Build each other up and we can build a better life for each other.

Which, with the messages deleted, can't be confirmed and sets a bad look regardless of the content deleted.
Because to be honest, to me, and others, it feels like FA's made it blatantly clear that they don't give a rats ass what the community thinks, they're gonna do it anyway, because 'they know better'.
Maybe the actual criticism will be listened to, but the majority will likely go ignored.
Look at DeviantArt and what they have done since Jark left. So many things available to core now used to be available to every user.
