‘Bored’ isn’t what I’d read into this - it sounds more like a shift in priorities to me.

Inatead of asking for a new maintainer they "shut it down", making it a more attractive project to pick up. Smart

  Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

    No Big Lebowski fans on HN? The commenter called me a liar, there's just no dialogue worth having with this person.

> This project is making the commercial web more bearable, but I'd rather spend my energy on making the non-commercial web more attractive. I want to support communities and applications that respect their users and value what we have to say. These websites don't need letsblock.it rules, because they don't shove low-quality content and anti-features down our throats. Does this sound "bored"?

  Yeah, perfectly. That's why I suggested it. It sounds like he was super interested in one thing, 2 years passed, and now he isn't interested in that one thing and wants to do something else. Bored. There's nothing wrong with that. Being bored isn't a bad thing.

    I don't think I would call that bored. It's say this project let them grow enough that they realized that what they really want is something different than what they're working on. But to me "bored" sounds like a bad thing, so maybe I'm just arguing semantics.

      Boredom isn't bad; its often how we become creative and create novel things. Not really the same quality of boredom as what I'm talking about, but this video from Veritasium is still relevant, I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKPwKFigF8U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKPwKFigF8U
