The maillinglist is just moderated not censored. I disagree in some points with the FSFE, because I think we need more transparency etc. But there are many things I agree with e.g. "Public Money public code" etc. I think we need a strong FSFE in Europe to support our community. So I don't think I have to stop my support because some privileged guys have their egotrips and have to share their Weltschmerz with our community to feel better. And no, FSF isn't more mature. At least not as long Stallman is in charge.

Re: On Censorship
After reading the posts here I’m seriously thinking to stop supporting the FSFE as a „supporter“ and also because of the fellowship discontinuation. In the Future it seems better to support the Free software Foundation in the us which’s more mature. -- Karun On Mon, 6 May 2019, at 5:51 PM, Erik Albers wrote: > Hi Joe, > > > On 06.05.19 16:58, Joe Awni wrote: > > Personally, I have experienced instances of de facto censorship in the form > > of not being allowed to participate in an election, > > You have not being allowed to participate because the deadline for candidates > have been on February 1st and you applied on April 15, means you have been > 2,5 months beyond the deadline.

Re: selective censorship (aka some words from your list-admins)
And for once l quote you totally. It is ridiculous and shameful behaviour of this individual. Outrageous. They all should resign unanimously because l see no one stopping this madness from inside.

Out of your respect for your request for being friendly, I'll avoid repeating his name again. One of those posts is so offensive and inaccurate that I would kindly request that if you are willing to censor new subscribers, you also censor that GA member by removing his post from the public archive. I would also request that you escalate that particular post to the CARE team. The root cause of all this appears to be the executive's decision to attack the fellowship representative with an ultimately unsuccessful motion to prematurely terminate his membership of FSFE e.V. I remain of the opinion that the resignation of the president may be more effective in helping the community move on from that than tweaking moderation settings.
