Hello @[email protected],

Could you please have a look at how the community is managed? The behaviour of the new moderation seems concerning and opposed to the will of the community.

Long story short, the new mod

  • launched a poll run to change the community to FOSS only
  • they only let that poll run only for 20 hours before closing it, deleting the post and changing the name and rules of the community
  • once called out about this, they reinstated the poll, but refused to take into account that on several instances (including LW) the poll results were actually to keep the community for both FOSS and non FOSS clients
  • the new moderator dismisses our requests to come back to the previous status (as the poll indicated)
