Spiriting away issues into discussions feels like sneaky damage control

[cadadr]

People are raising fundamental issues with the literal idea of the proposal, which is the entire point of the repository. As such, the stuff you scurried away into much less well known, much less frequently visited "Discussions" section feels disingenuous. Your "Alert" issue also having comments disabled reeks of damage control.

This reflects very badly on you and it makes me regret having advocated for and used CC licences.

In this regard me personally are giving them the benefit of the doubt. There was a misconfiguration in which discussions could not be opened and after that was fixed, they moved issues into discussions (once). They may have done to much moving here, but I suspect this to be a one-time thing.
Also discussions is mentioned first under "how to provide feedback", so I believe this to be visible.

This kickoff is intended as an open feedback process. We have tried to highlight the discussions:

1. in the README:

   How to provide feedback

   1. Head over to Discussions to provide direct feedback on our prepopulated questions and to start new discussion threads with the CC team and broader community.

2. in an open issue: [ALERT] Some issues moved to discussions #27

   We're moving some issues to discussions.

   If you don't find your issue here, please see Discussions. (Each issue that is moved also links to the discussion it has become at the top of the issue.

If you have additional ideas for how we might bring people to discussions, please let us know.

I would personally prefer if the tone does not drift in to the accusatory. It is okay for it to feel that way. These feelings can be acknowledged (I am not sure they have been fully) but i do not see how they can be discussed.

What constructive changes are you hoping for @cadadr ?

[cadadr]

Your personal preferences bind your person, and I'm not interested in getting tone-policed.

I think these entire discussion happens under the https://creativecommons.org/code-of-conduct/

This Code applies in all Creative Commons spaces—including events, chat, forums, GitHub, mailing lists, platforms, chapters, community, and social media—whether those spaces are managed by staff, community leaders, or partners.

I value your voice and i'd rather have you along then see even more of trainwreck when people are censored/banned for CoC violations. (I am no way threatening you, as i have no moderation rights or any status with CC or a related organisation.)

An acusatory tone is only appropriate for a direct screwing over of the artists and creators the CC used to protect and encourage. CC licensed material has been violated and stolen without permission millions of times since the rise of LLM slop, in the direct pursuit of profit and devaluing labour. I also hope it's not lost on this proposal that LLMs are currently boiling the planet.

Instead of fighting back against this rampant theft that represents everything the CC used to stand against, the organization is now trying to roll a red mattress for them instead.
