Well... being easily manipulated into believing the hoax and taking a side in silly fork war. 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.
