as one of the instance mod/admin's I'd say that evidence would help expedite the report process but it's totally optional
depending on what the thing being reported is sometimes evidence isn't needed
for anything that's blatantly negative/unpleasant, evidence isn't typically needed when reporting a post/comment
for anything else that someone might find subtly "off", 2 pieces of evidence could help us figure out what's wrong
as a systems analyst having as much information to determine what happened and how things got to this way can help others and myself determine what the best way forward could be
for example some users might just need a warning/clarification based on my own interactions
tbh all of the communities hosted on our instance should already be valid/viable alternatives:
in the sense that anyone can ask a question and potentially get answers from fellow fedi members
If we're missing something that Stack Overflow has that would make or break the experience,
definitely feel free to add them to this comment or the Sublinks Repo

This might be an odd question to ask, but I want to be sure to understand it correctly. When I clone a project in Github that is licensed under GPL-3.0 license, am I allowed to delete bunch of files that I no longer need?...
yes deleting files wouldn't violate GPL-3.0 to the best of my knowledge as those files would still be under the GPL license,
it's just that you wouldn't be using them
if anyone wanted to use a file licensed under any of GPL licenses the user would be required to license any modified or redistibuted files under the same license ("or later") as to not violate the copyleft terms
for the "or later" clause I'm assuming that there is clarification in the license to state that the license must be validated by the GNU organization or states that it must be a later/newer "GNU" based license
this is my assumption, I would have to reread (once I'm back home) the license to confirm for sure
The main difference between GPL-2.0 and 3.0 (if I remember correctly) is closure/addressing the Tivoization loophole that exists in GPL-2.0
Licensing is still confusing, even after more than a decade.
totally fair, unless you're a lawyer or someone with OCD like me, no person would want to spend time reading all of the licensing terms/clauses

incorrectly stated their status as a ban rather than a suspension.
They should clearly know that they're suspended rather than banned especially since they themselves linked to the GitHub moderation commit which states as such.
> I'm not innocent, but it's hard to stay impartial when you're so invested in a project and community.
What's the intent of this statement?
> I don't want to play their "victim/oppressor" narrative, so I'm evil incarnate.
> It's also to "tone police" the rest of the community from speaking against their actions.
> Any rational person would want to avoid dealing with that hornets nest.
> Now I'm irrational and banned! :(
Also I want to say great eye to Lojcs@lemm.ee for spotting that!, as I didn't notice that critical information the first time I read through the discussions
^this suspension seems to make sense as Jonathan Ringer is:
Clearly in violation of Conflict of Interest due to their involvement with Lack of Disclosure - #1.
Still displaying on Reddit "willfully furthering the division in the community" as mentioned in the moderation commit action
They've caused problems in the past and it seems clear they haven't learned what really caused the suspension in the first place.
Their behavior is unsustainable so I can see the reason for the suspension, although at this point a permaban might be warranted due to the reasons stated above
Edit:
There's more bewildering comments from Jonathan it seems:
> This seems to be aligned with a similar attempt of mine #114 from 2021.
> The goal has been moved from "these are acceptable behaviors in this CoC" (114) to "these are how these behaviors should be enforced fairly". Which sounds good to me.
> I'll do a more thorough review, but feel confident that I would like to nominate myself as a shepherd.
