@dreiwert@chaos.social I have repeatedly complained over the years about the exclusionary characteristics of the ticketing process (not just in terms of scarcity), but at least an attempt was made there to find a workable solution, in the form of a replicating-voucher system.

That is not remotely comparable to "Congress without any attempt at safety precautions whatsoever". And this was never meant to guilt-trip attendees to begin with; it was meant to warn them about the very real dangers, and pressure the orga.

And no, I didn't "win". As I've stated further down the thread, I would have much rather seen an attempt to make it continue with the appropriate safety measures. This is barely a "win" in the sense that at least it's not going to be a superspreader event.
