I suggest locking the thread, red pilled people spreading their based opinion here which is not helpful at all.
Facts are
Personal comment If someone gives me 50 Mio. in funding I wont let people down like this. What Signal team does here is more than pathetic, they spit in everyones face taking the money and they expect us to swollow the pill.
Give me the money I do better and I hang myself if I let someone down like Signal team did - you can quote me on this. No I am not suicidal it just expresses how most people think about the story and how they betrayed their own community.
I'm pretty sure this user is talking about me after I disagreed with him multiple times in this discussion. Feel free to review the discussion and let me know if any of my statements is harassing this user in any way.
It is off-topic and smear campaign against me, my work that is all. How is that relevant to topic. It s not.
@CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml publicly accused me of harassing him so I felt it will be good to defend myself also publicly.
Of course that would be a better option but I didn't want to look like I'm avoiding his baseless accusations. If someone is calling me out publicly, they can be sure I will answer publicly as well.
I was only replying to that user and for me, the argument related to his past activity is over. Hopefully he will understand that and will also stop replying to me about that issue.
I appreciate that your reaction but I hope you will try to understand my point of view as well. Thank you in advance.
First useful comment here. Thanks.
I suggest locking this thread, cleaning it. My Guild is here. People with objective and constructive criticism are welcome.
I already predict that this will happen and requested multiple times to lock this because this is all off-topic and a vendetta against my in person, nothing more. The user simply wanted to smuggle his argument inside wrapped up Signal posts to make me look like a fool which is motivation, I speculate that this is someone from the arkenfox team in an alt account or someone who is a fanboy of them, which would explain the refusal of valid arguments.
Disagreeing with your statements is not smear campaign against you.
Claiming something without been involved, checking so-called made up facts and abusing it on a high traffic website is a smear campaign, as per definition.
It makes it so or so not better because it is still off-topic. It is also not your argument at all, it is something you found on the internet or someone send you and an attempt to discredet me, nothing more.
The problem is that from what I know those facts are not made up, I'm not abusing this and Lemmy is not really high traffic website. If my goal would be to spread this information about you, then I would definitely use any other website but I'm only using those facts as part of our conversation so that's completely different situation.
If it's offtopic then just end this part of our discussion at this point. In future, if you don't want people to remind you of your past then simply change your username or just don't do anything bad.
You accuse someone which you never tried to contact before, come with a link which had to be closed b an GitHub staff due to misinformation and call this fact. According to you, earth must be flat because it is also written somewhere on the internet.
I urge you to stop spreading misinformation regarding my person because you want to discredit me to make your stuff look better. You failed here miserably. Please stay on the topic, Lemmy is FOSS community. Signal is not anymore FOSS which was the reason it got attention in the first place.
We have sufficient alternatives, they are mentioned here by fine people of Lemmy.
No, you didn't.
The issue is still open and last comment was written two weeks ago so either you live in some different reality or your so-called evidence is made up.
The only member who got warned and then permanently banned in that situation was you. Your GitHub account is still banned since 2018. Now try to convince me and others that this happened because GitHub stuff was wrong and they don't know their own ToS.
Please quote the part of GitHub those which states that the users have to contact you in any way before exposing you and showing evidence against you.
Can you show me any proof that anyone related to arkenfox is chasing you over multiple platforms and that I'm doing the same?
You were the one spreading misinformation, not facts, so I reminded people about who you are so they can better understand why are you behaving that way and that they shouldn't worry about you attacking them if they disagree with you.
By writing really long post, spreading misinformations and users who exposed you and claiming that amount of knowledge is measured by number of your repositories.
You should better educate yourself if you think that plagiarizing other's work is nothing bad.
And that's what you should do few years ago instead of writing long and meaningless post.
You have no way to know that.
The GitHub issue is still open and even active. The only user who got punished in this situation was you.
No, because it was proven that earth is not flat. You still didn't prove that you didn't plagiarize other's work.
You are the one trying to accuse me of harassment only because I gave you the link to facts about yourself.
It doesn't matter. If you are using Lemmy, it doesn't mean you can't use messenger that was FOSS for most of the times.
You are wrong again. Signal is dead but only for you, just one tiny person that is trying to prove that he did nothing bad.
