I’m surprised it’s news to you that Ruben (among others) is attacking
people personally; that’s something you could have learned from the
previous moderators.

Good.

How did it fail? What do you suggest regarding elephants in this room?
Who are you accusing of what, to be clear?
I’m baffled that you can be so assertive and dismissive of the
moderation work that was done before (which I can only guess was no
fun!). I would have loved to read your answers to my other questions to
better understand your viewpoint.

Sure, we’ll talk about governance (no quotes) as much as possible,
meaning as much as the signal-to-noise ratio doesn’t prevent that.
Governance is very much on-topic for this list.
Thanks,
