For example, you actually could:

- Stop complaining about FFmpeg community members attending conferences and 
discussing FFmpeg (e.g. VDD 2024).
- Stop making inflammatory metaphores about community members (ditto).
- Stop attacking conference organisers and hosts for not accomodating you 
(e.g. Kwangwoon university faculty).
- Stop posting insulting AI-generated pictures about other OSS projects on 
social media (e.g. VideoLAN, on X).
- Stop making seemingly false claims about colleagues (e.g. Josh and Marvin),
- Stop removing FFmpeg committer access rights at your discretion (e.g. 
Vittorio's).
- Stop making utter lame excuses for the previous point (ditto, and causing 
James to figuratively lose it).
- Stop defending other admins censoring the mailing list outside of oversight 
and without even notifying other admins (e.g. Compn).
- Stop victimising yourself on the mailing list (e.g. this thread).
- Stop misconstruing people defending themselves, others or their different 
opinion as "attacks" against you.
- Stop criticising some of your business and/or business partners on the 
mailing list (i.e. FFlabs).
- Stop demeaning the GA members, or the active voters within it,

For the record, those are just suggestions for future reference, not personal 
attacks. Still every single one of those bullet point have (very predictably) 
attracted negative responses from a variety of people in the recent past.

> People keep attacking me

As far as I can tell, most actual attacks against you on this mailing list in 
recent times were in response to your own critics or complaints.

Possibly you are attacked elsewhere. But in that regard, this ML is most 
certainly not the right place to rant about it: instead of addressing your 
problem, it would most likely anger and demotivate people.

Br,
