Hi all, I received the reply below personally
It includes CC: libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org but the message didn't appear through the list Is this because of list settings (requires the list address in the To header) or because of some moderation policies or because some people are censored? Can FSF tell us if any people are currently censored on this list and if so, how many? Some people contacted me given the way I have raised concerns about censorship in other communities recently. A rushed change of the president appears to be a vulnerable time for any organization. After FSFE started censoring communications from elected community representatives (myself), the discussion was migrated to a parallel list. If anybody wants to know they are receiving every message at this crucial time, please come and join us there, it can be your canary in the coal mine. https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion Personal invitations to subscribe have already been sent to many people I correspond with. It is hosted in Switzerland so any censors promise to be neutral. Nonetheless, I would draw your attention to the bigger question: Any list admin eventually becomes tempted to censor things, which free software technology provides the best way to eliminate the risk of censorship? https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/pipermail/discussion/2019-May/000000.html Regards, Daniel -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [libreplanet-discuss] membership confusion, FSF way forward Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 11:19:50 +0530 From: Nishant Sharma <nish...@unmukti.in> To: Leah Rowe <i...@minifree.org>, Leah Rowe via libreplanet-discuss <libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org>, Daniel Pocock <dan...@pocock.pro> CC: libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org On 23 September 2019 8:48:42 AM IST, Leah Rowe via libreplanet-discuss <libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org> wrote: > >I take issue with this: there is the issue of vetting regular members. >What if a bunch of members are present who do not share the FSF's >hardline stance on free software? > I agree. The governance and other decisions should remain with the core members who believe and support the hardline stance. In comparison to democratic governance of a nation, a government doesn't ask for views / vote from every citizen on every matter. We trust our representatives to speak for us and take decisions in the best interest of the nation. Let's have faith in the board members of the FSF and at the same time keep a check on them. It is our responsibility to keep writing/talking to them to not let them deviate from the principles and ethics it was founded on and for.
