Stepping in as a list moderator to 1) offer apologies to everyone that this off-topic discussion has gone on so long and 2) to note that I have put Mina's address on moderation. Recognizing that this is a heated and upsetting topic for many, and these discussions have a tendency to invite piling on, I have also put the whole list on moderation and plan to leave it on moderation through the end of Sunday. I am happy to quickly approve any messages from the conference organizers and messages directly relevant to Wikimania 2023 information. 

This list is for discussing and getting information Wikimania: the upcoming conference and future planning. Questions about the conference are fine; concern trolling is not. I whole-heartedly support the statement that Butch posted on behalf of the CoT and WMF. 

best, 

Phoebe
