These messages are from Daniel Supernault, primary maintainer of Pixelfed.

I don’t want to recap the FediDrama here (drama recaps have a way of becoming drama themselves), but I suspect it’s the reason he’s taking a break.

I’ve never met @dansup but I know he’s contributed so much to the Fediverse and OSS communities. I am still a newb myself (Twexit era). But - for the good of the OSS community - would it be too much to ask we show some respect for the pioneers who got us here?

Without good folks like Dan doing loads of work in the Fediverse, we don't have anything. The people issuing death threats and the like to Dan and others should be banished.
