Blakestacey mentioned here that the author of the medium article seems to be an AI user, but David Gerard (who knows more inside details I assume) mentions the reporting seems to be valid.

Oh shit, I guess the lesson here is that you can never trust a top-down power structure, regardless of how noble an organizations goals seem to be.

I guess, we need to create more coops, that make Free Software or something. I also like, what Codeberg is doing, with their membership and democratic organisational structure, although I don't know much about how it works.
