Should the delegation, from where this came from, be revoked to FFmpeg social 
media?
(vote ends in 7 days)

Please reply on ffmpeg-devel with your choice:

[R] revoke access

[K] keep access

thx

I'm sorry, but we have a real method agreed upon for voting with Condorcet,

The question about revoking access has 2 options, so a simple vote is 
equivalent to Condorcet


and a call for a vote like this on a Sunday afternoon with virtually no
discussion whatsoever is not acceptable.

its 7 days so theres as many of each weekday as theres a sunday

Sending this a day most people are not even going to check their email or forget about it after giving it a short glance is not the same as sending it when everyone is on call. See: Corporations making unpopular announcements on a Friday night, hoping most people will not care enough.

And day of the week aside, you started a vote unprompted the same day the related complaint showed up, without even having the chance for discussion. That's incredibly rushed.


Multiple people have raised complaints about our social media use over months
At least 3 FFmpeg developers (thats not including myself) and that one youtuber.

Noone did anything effective about that

And what I can do, is to revoke the delegation, or not revoke it.

Well, if i have to acknowledge this irregular and very questionable vote given all the background that has been provided (A bounty to get him kicked? Really? How are we humoring this shit?), i obviously choose K, as should everyone else, and also ask we stop this infighting, more so now that we have external parties fueling it.


So I basically asked, should i revoke it
Asking people to discuss before i ask them if i should revoke it would be
kind of wierd

thx
