It was also posted by members of the outgoing mod team to the community subreddit and tagged with announcement, so it's not like someone outside this drama saw the ticket and decided to reshare it with a wider audience.
- danShumway 5y ago> to the community subreddit and tagged with announcement I'm not sure this really changes anything, it is a community announcement. I think this is something a community would want to know even independent of any other drama, even if they were resigning on good terms. I guess I should clarify that I don't see letting the community know about something as necessarily equivalent to volunteering to debate or even to fully explain. I don't think this stuff is a binary category between never intending a message be read by the public (even if it's technically public) and doing something like a national TV news interview. Rust has a community issue tracker/repo that it uses for organization; posting notifications there (and in other community hubs like Reddit) feels very appropriate to me.
