The lack of hierarchical structures to just be able to make that call for real was cited to me as the reason. So some of them thought the next best thing was playing pretend.

But from where I stand, it is the unwillingness by the organisation to become proactive in a real sense why all that existed was a tweet to give the illusion of safety and care, when in fact they were, again, just engaged in reputation management.

Don't get me wrong, I am not calling for hierarchy, that was Linus' and Frank's justification - they had a literal year to handle this because they knew he was trying to become ever more present. And then didn't do shit.

Failure to have a code of conduct and enforcement is a hierarchy. It puts rapists in charge of the event.

Funny that the argument against masks for COVID at CCC events was that masks supposedly give immunosuppressed people a false sense of security, something blatantly false. Yet event policies full of holes are just fine.

@akareilly @eaon @fl0_id @schrotthaufen @tante

ccc leadership: banning a known predator from our event is impossible

also ccc leadership: you must have a ticket to attend our event

strange how one of these is compatible with their principles about hierarchy and the other is not

@vaurora @akareilly @eaon @fl0_id @schrotthaufen @tante This is part and parcel of:
- all the communications from the CCC being anonymous and unaccountable
- the structure and finances of the CCC being unclear

This is an organization that pretends to guide the digital policy of Germany in a good direction (good for who??) and people here in tech lap it up.
