@civodul @lxo @anthk @amszmidt @janneke @slothrop The phrasing of this message caught my eye.

I think the FSF's strategy is one legitimate way to attempt to preserve its integrity and values, though certainly not the only way. But that strategy also comes with an unavoidable consequence: you lose the ability to say you represent anything more than the majority-consensus values of your voting members.

A movement is a fluid thing; you can seed it, you can grow it, but you cannot control it unless a vast enough majority of individuals in the movement recognize you as the leader. Without unanimous leadership, [suggested] claims over an entire moment only divide it further.
