By his own manifesto he wouldn't do that, and he wouldn't want to be a hypocrite.
I'm not sure that's actually true. Clearly he very much liked taking power away from a specific set of people. The guy really likes constructing this narrative where he's some sort of free speech savior, but when you look at his actions the opposite seems true. E.g. during the switch to libera if you had any mention of libera in the channel topic on freenode you'd end up with all the channel operators banned and replaced with friends of Lee. That's hardly a pro-free-speech thing to do.
Except, well, he did.
Edit: googling it in French attributes it to Henri Queuille.

I'll be honest: I have absolutely no idea what this means. It's obvious the @buyvpnservice is meant to be a play on "buy VPN service", but everything else looks like mindless mumbling to me. Could you explain it, please?
If you read my tweets since December 21, 2021 (<20 total) you will get some more context.
I worked for PIA VPN for 5 years before it was bought by Kape.
They're scammers.
Given all the not-false-but-absolutely-misleading advertising I see/hear for VPN providers¹, I suspect they are all scammers or as near to as makes no odds.
[1] including in sponsored segments in the output of technical influenzas who don't help their reputation in my view by parroting the words themselves instead of letting the sponsor do it, or by being more choosy about exactly what they are willing to parrot
(so I was told)
They have also threatened me several times over many years.
They will not last long now.

Edit: Or maybe they don't want to drag the whole drama into this celebration again :) Libera moved on so quickly that even after 2 months it felt like everything was in the distant past and the community was just as it had always been.
But then it would have been better to not elaborate on the history. I agree it's a bit weird like this.
