There's a lot of issues right now around communication, moderation, and community.

- One of the release managers (myself) was banned/suspended [1]

- Attempts to assert control on the board's decision-making by proxy group [2]

- Use of social media to target individuals [3]

dear goddess, anduril really employs gobshites from the top to the bottom.

As much as I think they overreacted when banning you, it also feels like an overreaction to fork that soon.

I hope a compromise will be found, and that you'll be back on NixOS as soon as possible!

Bro, you should really take the hint soon.

That there's an established clique? I agree.

Wow, is #3 disingenuous.

"Use of social media to target individuals" sounds like some internet personality doxxed you, or sicced their followers on you.

But it looks like... someone linked your own public comments from a Nix Discourse thread, and then the board rejected your bid to join them?

Apparently this Jon Ringer guy has it out for you, as much as anyone else. He keeps sabotaging you and putting words in your mouth. /s

Reading your comments, I'm continually reminded of MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail, "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will." It's clear you still haven't educated yourself on the issues around representation, and the distortions of "meritocracy" in a world where we didn't all get to race from the same starting line.
