I absolutely agree.
Issues at Rust got to the point that about a year ago the moderation committee resigned. [0]
Anecdotes suggest was over quite serious irreconcilable issues[2]
The rumour mill went wild and I've no idea if we ever got clarity.
It's a rabbithole with spiralling conspiracy theories. A core member seemed to delete their Twitter too. [1]
Very concerningly the original resignation letter said to be sceptical (I think that's the word used) of core team response. This I think was recanted. I'm not sure what the circumstances of the recantation was but it's a very serious thing to say of course. Is it possible it was based on legal advice?
In my opinion there's no smoke without fire and there is far too much controversy in and around the Rust community to call it bad luck.
Something is rotten there but I guess I have no interest in finding out why. Only that I stopped going to Rust meetups at Mozilla due to the hostile atmosphere to any detractors.
