Hi Maarten,
The question is really simple and the answer too.

Is there a conflict? Yes.

Must this conflict be resolved? I suppose yes.

How it can be resolved? Is it sufficient the support of the WLM community?

Regards

Hi,

I've been running ErfgoedBot [1] since the start of Wiki Loves Monuments. ErfgoedBot still runs on old pywikibot compat code that will break soon [2]. I could invest time in updating the bot and I have been considering doing that for quite some time, but I realized I just don't have the motivation for it. Commons has become a toxic place dominated by a small group of very vocal users. These users don't seem to accept that Russavia is banned and to try to turn everything into "Commons community" vs "WMF" battle. I don't identify with that and I don't feel like investing time in a project where this behaviour is acceptable.
