So I understand that the PHP Group granted the right to represent PHP on
specific social media platforms, and that the person holding this
responsibility, instead of passing it on to a successor, unilaterally
decided to stop contributing. This is not a proper approach, and the
account should be returned to the appropriate entity regardless of the
individual=E2=80=99s personal views. Framing the account as "abandoned" shi=
fts the
narrative and misleads the discussion into treating this as an acceptable
outcome.

So, IMO, I think the access was lost, and this is a original problem.

> I don't even know what this means.

Sarcasm. I use it when I see middle-aged white men from the Anglo-Saxon
world arguing over who has the correct perspective.
