🗒️ Summary of this message: A developer alleges lack of clear moderation policies and abuse of power by the current moderator on the bitcoin-dev mailing list.
📝 Original message:Hi Maxim,
This is exceedingly boring. This is not a good use of your time. There are
thousands of developers subscribed to this mailing list, and we should not
waste their time, including this discussion.

What exactly is the abuse being alleged here though? Why would it be
surprising that your tweets didn't get the behavior you wanted out of me?
In general mailing list moderators should not be sending items through
based on twitter mobbing, that's a policy you can consider if you want to
think about policies.

Excluding your (and my) other tweets and any other collaborators' tweets
from your report is kind of weird. I think you should include the other
tweets that you were sending me because it provides context. Zooming out,
the entirety of your complaint seems to be about moderation queue latency
and delay. Why would you, or anyone, allege that that moderator latency is
indicative of me specifically not liking you? Wouldn't it be more likely
that the other moderators and I are looking at your email and talking with
each other asynchronously about whether to suggest edits/reject/submit?
I suspect you may be attributing malice to me because I recently asked you
to stop tagging me on quantum woo and you might have taken that negatively
- please keep in mind that not everyone believes in quantum consciousness
or is interested in hearing about it, and it's okay for people like me to
not want to engage on each of your different interests. There is some
overlap in our interests outside of crypto, but that isn't one of them. I
noticed some odd tweets from you to me after that, so that's why that
incident came to my mind as a possible explanation for this.
Thank you.
