a bit of a tragic read there.

Yeah. That strikes me as more of a "hey, are you OK? Do you have someone you can talk to?" situation than an interesting flamewar.

Apparently his gf brought their daughters away from him, and he had to spend some time fighting in court. This struck on me because I have a friend in the same situation, and he is desperate to the point we fear for him to go suicidal. Using kids as a weapon against the ex partner is just evil. Now, unless Juan is violent to them, forcing the daughters not to contact or see him, especially if they suddenly become hostile to him, it would be a case of parental alienation, which he should fight against in court since it also hurts the kids.

  Also the #StayAtHome seems to bring out the best and the word in people, and he mentions having covid-like symptoms right before all of this. That amount of stress can be bad.

  This whole thing may have ignited when one of the maintainers put an entry in the fortunes file that made fun of that: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/c3b796acace52e275ff069347c21000f48138f28 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/c3b796aca... Smells to me like they deliberately set him off so they'd have an excuse to stage a coup. Could be wrong, but this distro looks like it's maintained by a den of vipers and I'm sure as hell not going near it.

The ticket which expressed xtraeme’s desire to resign was opened first, then over the next hour he lashed out at several project members. The resignation was processed per his wishes, and per his conduct torwards others a ban was applied at the organization level. That's not a "yes, he resigned." That's dodgy political talk.

        I don't know how else you'd answer the question when it's "both".

    No, that particular commit was in the aftermath. xtraeme's angry tweets started at 7:40 PDT, access to infrastructure was cut off at 8:40, and that commit was at 9:32. The individual who made the commit apologized on reddit and said it wasn't intended as a reference to xtraeme's personal situation. Terrible form though and certainly didn't help matters, but I think the outcome was determined by that point.

      That's kind of true? The one that made the divorce crack apologized and seems to have an innocent enough explanation. Look again though, the one that actually made the commit (Vaelatern) is trying to be sly by saying they just found it amusing, and only going so far as to say they "support the decision" to revert it. While this couldn't have set it off timeline-wise, it paints a picture that someone was trying to goad him into going too far.
