Fyi, linked in the post is the statement in the fdroid GitLab org, https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/447 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/447. This provides a bit more context. It also contains a reply from Hans regarding this statement.

Further context is in the resignation statement of another community council member, which someone made private "because I felt like it" (actual quote and sole justification.) https://web.archive.org/web/20231117190207/https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/446 https://web.archive.org/web/20231117190207/https://gitlab.co... Edit: since multiple trolls are in the thread, this isn't just one person. Multiple people simultaneously resigned from the community council. Edit: the entire community council. Three people - the fourth was the F-droid board's representative. More about the community council: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/call-for-volunteers-f-droid-community-council/23221 https://forum.f-droid.org/t/call-for-volunteers-f-droid-comm... It sounds like F-droid established a governing board this year and one of their first actions was to address complaints from contributors about how Hans was running things. The board established the community council, Hans kept doing whatever he wanted, and the board didn't act, so much of the community council resigned? Edit: I think the entire community council quit, given the fourth member is their board representative?

  > which someone made private "because I felt like it" Further to making statements in their own community private, it seems even this HN post has been flagged by someone for some reason...

    And I'm unable to vouch for it like I usually can - but I an also flag it if I wanted to? I don't know what that means. HN moderation is such a black box.

      I've seen `vouch` on flagged comments but not on posts.

      I think you can only "vouch" once it's "dead", as long as it's merely "flagged" you can only "upvote" to counter it.
