How to subscribe members without sending unsubscribe message
Hi,
I need to remove subscribed members without sending them an unsubscription message. Despite of my research I haven't figured out how to do this using the GUI.
Can anyone help?

With Postorius, you can do it by first setting the list's Automatic Responses -> Send goodbye message to No, and then doing the unsubscribe.
From the command line, you can use the mailman delmembers command
which has options to control the sending of the admin notice and the
goodbye message.

There's a common saying among user interface developers that "'intuitive' just means 'what you're used to'". It's not a "you" problem, it's that people have different notions of where such things "should be found" based on their unique experiences.
In this case, the "mass subscription" tool has controls for all the things you might care about, including the welcome message. The "mass removal" tool does not, but once you've used "mass subscription", a control for the goodbye message is a reasonable expectation. I think we should add it: https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/638
