Re: Fedora Censorship status

1) Offer the ability for people to make take-down requests, removing
the specific post from the aggregator.

If anyone is uncomfortable with a post on the planet, feel free to open a ticket here: https://pagure.io/CoC/new_issue or message me or Matthew Miller privately. 

2) If 1 got too large then just remove the aggregator entirely and
replace it with vetted and curated blog posts driven through the a
dedicated Fedora SIG focused on reviewing the content.

Luckily we have the Community Blog already in place if this were to happen :)

Given the latest discussions taking place about what potentially amounts
to censorship, I feel it is critical that anybody with a view is able to
use all communication channels, including Planet Fedora, to draw
attention to whatever concerns they have.

To me it is unclear what this thread is working towards. If you have specific concerns please bring them forward with an idea on how to solve them and let's see if we can make an improvement! If they are of a private nature, feel free to message me/Matthew or open a ticket here: https://pagure.io/CoC/new_issue

Thanks!

This is a good question.  I would do 2 things.

1) Offer the ability for people to make take-down requests, removing
the specific post from the aggregator.
2) If 1 got too large then just remove the aggregator entirely and
replace it with vetted and curated blog posts driven through the a
dedicated Fedora SIG focused on reviewing the content.
