attention all lichess users!

For those who don't know me I am @Fmuror02 , a streamer and study creator who isn't that bad at chess.
Anyway, I am not here because of me, it's because of all lichess users and lichess itself.
As you all know, @lichess has restricted entering more than 50 teams and is kicking people out of them. As a result lot's of teams like this one lichess.org/team/play-better-chess- have been closed and other big teams like:
lichess.org/team/zhigalko_sergei-fan-club and
lichess.org/team/jokes-and-memes-and-riddles-
are perhaps doomed because of this new restriction.
I think lichess shouldn't do this. In fact I think lichess should have done the opposite thing. Lots of people think the same thing, but other people don't care. Some even like it. But what is the reason for this liking of this new restriction. I will tell you: NONE.
I REPEAT NONE NONE AND NONE A MILLION TIME MORE NONE.
This now, is the second consequence:
Lichess has now been divided into those who don't like the restriction (as myself) who I call "Protestants" (for protesting about the new restriction. And the "Lichessians" (for following lichess in this conflict).
I don't want to create a civil war or anything, but take your sides in this, be who you are.
I put myself in the Protestant side. I see no reason to have done this @lichess
But... ...the question is... ...where to put yourself. I say follow your dream in lichess, is it working out, yes or NO. You decide.
Also to @lichess I want to say that many people have questioned themselves about leaving lichess and going to chess.com.
I see now bad thing about that, but I warn lichess that if you don't do something people will leave
REMEMBER THIS @LICHESS !!!!!!!!!
But this is not a threat, I just say this for people to meditate on it.
Now, think about this @lichess and every other user
Thank you for listening to me.
I am on the "Protestant side" because lichess had 0 reasons to do this
They are going to increase the team size back to 50...

Besides, lichess did have a reason for this. Yes, 32 was too little, but the great majority of us (looks like >90%) have come to a conclusion that 50-60 team limit is good. And lichess is planning to change it to 50-60.
