Key quotes
· 5 pulledI have learned that Luna has joined the Freedesktop Discord. People expressed feeling unsafe, but the admin shut down discussion immediately.
Luna has been passing around screenshots where an unidentified FDo CoC team member discusses banning me with her, and states that they have 'a plan' [to deal with me].
I feel like nobody in the Linux graphics/desktop community stood up for me as Luna manipulated and brainwashed people one by one.
I will be removing myself from all FDo spaces entirely, including no longer contributing to any FDo-managed projects in any way.
I'm sorry. I can't do this any more.
