Ya, the claim as official came up a while ago, I thought it was dealt
with. I'm one of the devs with 'admin' rights it seems, I can change
the description and server invite background (both have official in it).
I'd change the description to something like the following.
Discord server for Gentoo Linux, a free operating system based or Linux or
FreeBSD.
Though maybe we should use the language we used in the nitrokey
announcment for how to descript Gentoo :D
It does not look like I have the ability to remove the server entirely,
as was suggested elsewhere. I don't think that's a good idea in any
case.
One thing that may help is to have multiple levels of control defined.
Official - as K_F described before, website and email announce lists.
Controled - controled / moderated by Gentoo pr / comrel
This would be other email lists / aliases / facebook / etc
unofficial - not activly moderated by Gentoo pr / comrel
