> Where it's clear from your framing of an "opposition trying to silence you" that you think the industry lobby has at least some right to be heard before the council votes on policy

This is an inherent feature of democracy. "The industry" consists entirely of people, of course you can't exclude them.

>A good faith reading of the comment you replied to has so many non-malicious interpretations.

"Let's not allow rich people to participate in the political process" has just as many possible non-malicious interpretations as "Let's not allow black people to participate in the political process". i.e. none

And even above I'm steelmanning by assuming that Frieren didn't want to also exclude indie developers.
