I elaborated on the incident in this comment [0]. I read the comments that got deleted and they were constructive and informative. Not only did the Forgejo team edit them, they appear to have gone back and deleted them entirely and there's also no record on the Internet Archive. The only public record that there was any opposition to that appointment at all is a random Hacker News thread. I'm very uncomfortable with speech being censored unless there's a very clear reason (which there wasn't in this case) and I'm even more uncomfortable with it when the topic at hand is the appointment of a new moderator.
