Still sad about this - not because I shut down my project, but more because of how people can be.

[email protected] I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so easy to hurl hurtful accusations with no accountability that one ought to treat them as you would treat drive by criticisms.
I'm pretty far down the spectrum from a "tech bro" but I still got called one simply because NodeBB federated and dared to serve that content online (nevermind that every other fedi server does the same).
In that scenario there was nothing I could do as an individual except wait for an instance mod to lay some facts out. Anything I said was instantly derided, even if it was the same thing.
So if I reply with courtesy and I get back vitriol, why do I bother? I don't now.
So maybe that's more tech bro-y.
