Let's go through the possibilities here:
---
1) The maintainer is telling the truth, and I assume they're lying.
The maintainer's life is now even worse, because not only do they fear for their safety, but no one even believes it's happening!
---
2) The maintainer is lying, and I believe them.
I guess I'll end up feeling unnecessarily sorry for someone? I'm having trouble seeing the negative consequences here.

Suffice to say, I'd much rather just take their story at face value.

And implicitly approving what rigged poll is just fine for community. I don't want to condemn anyone nor to clear anyone, but your analysis is binary and misses two important cases ③ maintainer didn't lie, just exaggerated things a bit, ④ exploiting public fears about 4chan.
- sudosysgen 5y agoAs someone who spent too much time on 4chan a long time ago, public fears are mostly accurate. The maintainer filed a police report for what it's worth, so any evidence beyond what's been provided and which is already more than enough will come out in court and not before.
