They are doing surprisingly extensive censorship in their Matrix chat. I do not know what the first deleted messages had said, but you can see there that they deleted a message saying "I wanted to reply but now forgot about the exact text you wrote. It's fine... no hard feelings. Organic Maps had a great moment when we were all together and I was happy to be part of that. I still had hopes that reconciliation was possible but the concerns were never addressed and sadly things didn't change :( Maybe in the future this may change"

Seems like a rather extensive use of the "delete comment" button. Feeling a need for that level of censorship is a bit scary to me.

I posted those screenshots because I opened their Matrix channel, saw this conversation going on, and was surprised. I had previously ever been active on that chat for 10 minutes only, some week ago or so, and when opening it again I saw this kind of crap going on. And felt like it's something that should be shared for others to see.
