P2P Foundation is on a roll, deleting critical commentary like this.
it's not censorship when THEY do it, I guess.

read or join the discussion yourself here, it's all public https://www.facebook.com/groups/p2p.open/permalink/4185225761521571/

yup, who ever tries to counter the transphobia gets kicked out of the community and all their posts deleted. it keeps happening. it will keep happening. the P2P Foundation is an organization on feet of clay. it has no reputation left to salvage. this was really the last straw. I have never seen such a disgusting post and disgusting comments about other human beings.

the transphobes in the P2P Foundation and followers just announce themselves nowadays as transphobes

meanwhile, still waiting for all that grassroots-organizing-commoning-is-a-process expertise to be employed. the rank stench of its conspicuous absence is all very informative of how power operates to intimidate and silence despite (empty) rhetoric

"Although this category of leaders can develop a lot of activity, its success does not last. People attend their call, but there are very few results because the leader is concerned with his own promotion, forgetting the collective welfare. ... It is not easy for a community to get rid of this type of leader. When confronted, they give many excuses, trying if possible to blame whatever it is they are accused of on other participants."

A negative narcissistic-seductive leader cannot ensure a lasting project.

"This denomination refers to a leader also very much attached to the community, very nice and agreeable, with explicit participatory interests, who loves and admires leading roles and leaders playing them, and who wants to be one of them and be admired and congratulated."

Silencing tactics, Derailment:
'When women in geek communities call out a man in the community for bad behavior towards women, the responses often focus on the claimed intrinsic negative qualities of shaming, "call-out culture", or social ostracism, rather than on the behavior that elicited the shaming. The implication is that whatever harm the man did, the purported harm his critics did to him by talking about his behavior in public is worse.'
