There was no arbitrary censorship, there was a thread that was for a
few hours moderated.
ffmpeg-devel is for the development of FFmpeg

and one of my mails was rejected too:

    Your request to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list

        Posting of your message titled "Re: [FFmpeg-devel] [ANNOUNCE]
    upcoming vote: CC election"

    has been rejected by the list moderator.

so we are all treated equal here

What does that even mean ?
If a discussion goes of the rails and becomes "toxic" the moderator
must step in and take action. At worst a mail is delayed or may need to
be resent (if really a mistake is made).

Iam fairly sure i remember you wanting something to be done about the tone
and lack of friendlyness on the ML years ago.

more so, half of the current CC candidates where involved in fuelling
the previous unfriendly threads. So we cannot even vote for a CC that has
5 members who have not been involved.

He is moderator for about as long as FFmpeg existed

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.
