I guess I'm a neutral on this as I've never yet frequented the places where Tao is a moderator. I am a fan of the work the Dash Force guys do. For my part I hope it blows over smoothly which is what Tao seems to now be trying to do. In his own words, choice is good.
Banning trolls is one thing, but this seems to be a different scale. Perhaps in hindsight Tao's expansion into Dash Forums (and other places) is or was getting a tad monopolistic. So now there is a new channel. Maybe demo will find a voice there?
I am already in the new Dash Discord Channel, and I enjoy the freedom of talk there.
Dash Discord has been liberated.
I hope that the official Dashtalk.org forum will also be liberated soon from the harsh and non-voted rule of Tao.
Stop the cancer of censorship. Death is a form of censorship, and censorship is a form of death.
Spit the cancer of censorship and of spamming out of the dash forums.
Let's LIBERATE the users/readers of the dash forums, NOW!
