Only after you (and almost everyone) understood that they can affect the power balance
Speaking only for myself, you are dead wrong. I'm talking about months ago. This is verifiable on-chain if you want to go and find it.
I stepped down as a witness before all this drama specifically to not be involved, so I have no involvement recently at all, but I'm also not going to sit here and watch you make a bunch of statements and claims that are dead wrong.
This might not be relevant but I was personally told when I wanted to write articles in my mother tongue and get curated for it that anyone who doesn't speak and post in English should be considered as a subhuman
Not by me. I've for years supported non-English communities including @cervantes (Spanish) even though I barely understand Spanish, by sponsoring their contests, witness votes, and maybe free delegation (I don't remember that for sure). This is also verifiable on-chain.
In a large community there are all sorts of views and approaches including some ugly ones. If you have gripes with someone else, take them there, don't start throwing bogus racist accusations at me.
In short, please get your facts straight, or shut the fuck up.
