That kind of stuff is unavoidable with orgs like this (though tbf I've seen it more with European orgs...). Anywhere there's a group of people, there's a smaller group of people who are power hungry psychopaths.

Considering the supposed evidence was deleted, I'm not just going to take your word for it (next time, use archive.org or similar). But either way, I don't care. The software works very well for me, and stroking an egomaniac or two's ego is a small price to pay for that.

I don't expect you to take me at face value (though I will note that I linked to an HN discussion where other people comment on how weird the behavior was even before they nuked the whole discussion), but I will continue to share the story because I'm uncomfortable with how thoroughly quashed it was.

I'm relatively confident it was on archive.org and has been purged by the Forgejo team. There's only one entry on archive.org and it's a month after the event.

And I agree—the software works and I use it and I'm less sketched out by Forgejo than I am by Gitea. I'm just explaining why I'm not going to sink anytime into contributing to their project.
