gollark: Ybot == lyricly confirmed?!
gollark: They promised transparency, user involvement, general good things I forgot (manifesto should still exist somewhere).
gollark: Due to something, palaiologos won the vote by rather a lot, despite having only been a member for a few months.
gollark: Due to LyricLy being somewhat unserious as owner, we wanted to remove them and get someone else in place. This worked; LyricLy agreed to resign due to things (no blackmail*!) and we held an election.
gollark: I don't know, really. There are theories.
