> 7. A developer quit the project because she was harassed into quitting by another notorious troll, SaveTheInternet (the creator of an australian imageboard 4chon) and friends in the 4chon IRC. Basically, the arranagement at the time seemed to be quit and I take your dox down.

Although there was doxing, the issues slvr highlighted were entirely valid. IIRC, slvr had raised these in a private mailing list and they were then leaked to the public, at which point doxing occurred.

The concerns were public in IRC, github discussions and on the wiki, with a proposal to fix it: https://wiki.tox.im/Proposal:Slvr_Protocol_Rewrite

I did not imply that the issue raised was not valid, only that the pressure to quit was with troll(s) wielding dox and wub is being disingenuous like always with his concern trolling.

Yeah, the proposed rewrite was public. A lot of slvr's more vocal criticism wasn't, though -- some private emails were leaked. But yeah, it was the doxing that made him quit. And that sucks.
