A lot of their comments seem justified though and it looks like you were learning a lot from it as you mentioned it was your first rust merge. Also a lot of the delay was because you didn't have time to work on it as you mentioned in 2019 :) I'm not a developer but I read through the thread to see what it's about. But I think most comments were constructive criticism or just non blocking suggestions even. Though code quality seems to be a higher goal than in most projects I know, that's kinda admirable too. I can imagine your side too though, it's frustrating to be working on something and not seeing it go forward.

Totally agree: the issues raised are not just cosmetic -- several of them address fundamental thread safety issues that appear to be lost on the author.

It's the author of 8chan, so libel is not surprising here.

  Bennan has since repudiated 8chan and has fought for it to be taken offline. Let's not judge him too harshly.

    No, he didn't fight for it. He sold that site - that’s all. When he had the power to stop GamerGate imageboards - he didn't. When he could remove boards with CP - he didn't. What I wrote is far from “judging him too harshly” :) He only apologized for not removing the shooter's manifests. He didn't apologize for GamerGate, CP, racism, neo-nazism, and other terrible things. His words about the 8chan shutdown - “I was not even that upset about that” [1]. You can’t call it “fighting”.

    Very convenient to do so when it is no longer lining pockets.

  I had no idea about that but his responses to the issues and his blog post are pretty polite and reasonable IMO. Though like I said I don't agree and I think the devs merging it had justified concerns.
