People I trust who know a lot about community organizing or whatever you want to call this, and are more involved in Matrix than me, told me that this conflict is a lot more complex than just what this document describes.

So I suppose, don’t draw any conclusions just yet if this is the first time you’re hearing about this like it is for me.

No, really? Reading a document like means you have to believe one of two things: either there is a massive collusion and conspiracy between a ton of different groups against this individual, with a lot of bad actors, or this is a very troubled individual giving a very distorted and paranoid portrayal of what is going on, someone whose behaviors constantly create conflict.

I know nothing about this individual, this app, or any of the history here, but that is the choice I get from reading this, and one of those two options should seem pretty obviously a lot more probable.

Same.

I will say that there are some troubling statements here:

"queer" mentioned three times - why is that relevant? I was worried conduwuit was merely a protest to conduit's refusal to add a COC and not a serious project, and this doesn't help assuage that
"copyright trolls demanding i delete all their commits from conduwuit or face legal action" - was the OP or their co-maintainer a jerk or something?
"demands i ban my primary co-maintainer" - reinforces my second point

I don't know what's going on, but it sounds like a real mess. I hope OP is able to recover from this, and I hope whatever negative elements that exist in the relevant communities are dealt with.

So yeah, it definitely seems like there's more to it, and I don't even know if the OP is "good" or "bad" here.
