This list wasn't created to ask for money nor was it created to spread fake news or attack FSFE.
The reason FSFE e.V. has force-demoted Fellows like you to the Supporter program is take away your platform. This list and the fsfellowship.eu domain were created to give that platform back to you. That is all. It is clear that ahilter is a mouthpiece[1] of FSFE. They weren't happy to destroy your platform once: ahilter's disruptive behavior demonstrates that FSFE wants to burn your platform for good. Why would FSFE want to burn your platform? They give various shallow and condescending reasons. They tried to tell us that nobody really knows what the Fellowship is. In fact, that is the root of all fake news. It is the exact opposite of the truth. The platform that is now burning was known and respected. The platform was helpful for many Fellows as you applied to speak at events or run booths. In some cases, events gave a speaking slot to a Fellow like you and rejected a talk from an FSFE staff member. On many occasions volunteers were introduced as FSFE Fellows when speaking at events. This is your platform. Yet Fellows had a diverse range of views that FSFE couldn't control. They didn't want anybody using the title of Fellow to support the views of RMS or ask questions about sponsors like Google. I'm not seeking a platform for myself. I resigned as representative and didn't contest the Fellowship Council elections. This is a platform for you. How can we give all Fellows the best platform?
