Thanks for the bold decision.
The forum lost one of its most enthusiastic supporters and conversation starters. Two of his posts were even featured in one of the forum guides as examples of good and engaging posts.
People who follow what he does on Wikimedia agree that he has a special way of making people feel good and has a charismatic effect on people around him.
Very few folks from underdeveloped communities are courageous enough to speak their minds and call a spade a spade. He’s undoubtedly an exception. The movement has experienced some downfalls overnight, and we can feel the impacts: frictions have been introduced in the resource distribution, movement strategy is no longer a priority, and the whole movement, not just the forum, has lost pace. A big thanks to Rafi for bringing up these shared concerns here. I really appreciate it.
