in the past, a witchhunt meant they burned the victim at the stake. now, a witchhunt means the victim will be relegated to shitposting PR disasters to their own website using only emacs, which is basically the same thing

@sneak Ask ProJared and Vic Micgnogna how their witchhunts went.
@sneak Or hell, Eich. Eich didn't even shitpost to raise the ire of getting fired for political reasons.

@icedquinn eich voluntarily resigned because he recognized that he was no longer an effective leader of his organization (regardless of where the blame for that lies). whether or not someone else pointed that out to him is immaterial: he was at least smart enough to know that he was a bad leader and harming the organization.

@icedquinn nobody forced him to resign. he could have resigned voluntarily, or been fired. his *leaving* wasn't voluntary (because you need two parties to consent to have a job) - his resignation was.
