    That’s a very selective truth way of telling the story. While what you wrote is technically correct, the “temporary president” in question is one of the founders and has been reelected for the position every time. He also did it together with some other core contributors, so while I agree that this was communicated incredibly poorly with the wider community, this wasn’t a hostile takeover at all.

      I consider it a hostile takeover because the majority of the community was betrayed by their actions, and they switched from a democratic to a fascist governance model

        It was absolutely a hostile takeover. And now the copyright thing. It’s obvious what they want to do with the former community project.

        Fortunately the awesome Forgejo fork exists.
