"If what I say gets people killed, sucks for them, they should have done their jobs." said by zab, Tue, 01 Nov 2022, 08:57am.

Then, Wed, 02 Nov 2022, 04:11pm, zab's Apple developer account is compromised and he/she/they exited the I2P project.

Well, sucks for zab.

After reading several threads on zzz.i2p, I don't think zab is a great member of the I2P project. I mean, I do appreciate his contribution to the code, but his character makes him a bad coordinator for the project.

He said:

> You are not the one who gets to tell me that. (to xip, another great developer of I2P)

> I will respect zzz's wish because this is his forum, but what I do elsewhere is my business.

> I'll repeat it here - your kind is NOT welcome on I2P and you're not going to get any assistance with your migration from us. Hire people who can figure things out, hire support personel, set up mirrors, send your customers there. Run the whole thing the way you like and keep us out of it. It's your own fault you're in this situation, may God bless the DDOSer, I hope he keeps doing what he's doing.

> You just don't seem to get it, do you. We do what we like and in my specific case self-restraint isn't one of those things. The moment we stop liking working on I2P, we stop working on it. That hurts women in Iran much more than me shitposting on Reddit or anywhere else.

I mean, yeah, you can do whatever you want. You can contribute to I2P because you like it, or leave it if you don't like it. But one can only stand for himself since I noticed he references himself as "We", the whole I2P project when rejecting new users. And when talking about communities, he emphasized that "he", the person, is free.

Talking course 101: Do NOT stand for others when you're not a leader. Even if you're a leader, don't stand for others.

In my opinion, a person is free if he can do whatever he wants, AND, he can take the result/consequence. Sometimes you can control the consequence, sometimes you simply can't. When you can't control it or take it, then you don't do that thing. That's an adult. If you can't take the consequence and still yolo it, that's stupid.

Again, sucks for zab.
