I see Sara posted it on the VP as well:

This is true as well.
BTW: If my initial post sounded a bit rude, please excuse for that. 😊

Betreff: Re: [Commons-l] new blog post: interview with designer George Oates about
Wikimedia Commons
Some quick thoughts from me.
I, too, find the Facebook/Medium discussion reroute unfortunate (I'm not even on
Facebook), though it might help attract some more newcomers. I'm sure we can find a
suitable place to discuss this on-wiki, and there should be an appropriate link for
that.
As for the actual topic of the interview, I am glad to see an outside opinion from someone
who has experience with large, community-driven media repositories. I might not agree with
all the sentiments, and structured data and out Next Big Thing did not exactly feature
prominently, but I find it refreshing to leave the echo chamber once in a while.
Cheers,
Magnus

Why should we Commons contributors participate in a discussion on Facebook, a corporation
that has generated great wealth for its founder by distributing advertising that includes
democracy-destroying and hate-filled propaganda? It is antithetical to the principles of
most of our participants. I’m profoundly disappointed that a discussion on Facebook would
be promoted by the office of GLAM and Structured Data, Wikimedia Foundation.
Best wishes,
Walter

I too dislike the idea of having to pay to contribute to a discussion about Wikimedia
Commons. I also see some irony in advice from a platform that being generous can be
described as having lost its way many years ago, yes we can learn from the mistakes of
others. As others have said collectively we are capable of amazing things, we are doing
something special as we look forward we mustn't lose sight what our purpose is and our
goals are.
Dont forget
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data will have impact
so much of what is spoken about wont be relevant

Medium, where you can leave comments:
It's truly terrible if we're now outsourcing comments to an external
proprietary platform.
Totally agree with both of you, Federico and Fae.
I don't understand the outsourcing of comments nor the promotion from
the Wikimedia Foundation of services as Facebook.

Iván
