Hi LinAdmin,
As one of the people who wrote the FAQ for the debian-user mailing list,
not only have I heard of it, I specifically referenced it. If you are trying
to get some random posting removed from a Debian mailing list, this is
difficult becasue it may be archived anywhere in the world. Complaining
too much about it risks the Streisand effect. See, for example, the latest
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/08/msg00004.html
My reply to you yesterday was to ask you to be considerate, think of
others on the mailing list and to specifically consider how your words
may come across. Working constructively with people, adding to what
they are doing, offering help is more useful than offering criticism
in general.
This is a community: you are working with / being read by people you may
never meet and it helps to work out who you are dealing with and what
ability they may have to help you.
In an earlier message in the thread:
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2022/07/msg00039.html>
you suggested that you didn't care about Debian because Ubuntu
worked well.
We do care about what you've said, some of the people following
the list are people who might be able to help evaluate what we can do to
improve Debian but the way that you are making your point is not the most
helpful to what you are trying to say. There may be better ways to explain as
you wish to without putting down other people's work.
The Code of Conduct (https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct) and Debian
Community Team notes (https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct_interpretation)
refer.
I'd suggest particularly that section 2 - Assume good faith is very relevant in this situation.
