An open letter to NLNet to pull funding from development of Loops

+
+
+

+ dansup, the maintainer of Pixelfed, Loops, and FediDB, among others, is + a dangerous force in the Fediverse community. With a follower + count of over 22 thousand, he has repeatedly shown himself to be + hostile to fellow FOSS fediverse developers, have a lack of care for + open-sourcing his work, and be in favour of injecting the fediverse with + advertisements. He has also proved himself to be prone to conspiratorial + thinking, regrettable public statements, and embarrasingly public + meltdowns. +

+

+ We, the undersigned, believe that dansup's actions, culminating in the + public meltdown of 2024-12-30, are not merely isolated incidents of an + overworked software developer, but a pattern of abuse, deflection, lack + of accountability, appeal to emotion, and tactlessness. +

+

+ We urge NLNet to pull funding from Loops immediately, to refrain + from funding any future projects by dansup, and to consider funding + projects by the victims of his harrassment, such as Impressia or besties. We have compiled a recounting + of events highlighting dansup's unprofessionalism and hostility toward + developers smaller than him, which can be found here. +

Conflict of interest

+

+ This open letter has been authored by contributors who wish to remain + anonymous. The authors are friends and aquaintances of hazycora, and as + such, we acknowledge any potential conflict of interest stemming from + our relationship. Nonetheless, we remain confident that dansup's + actions towards Hazel and others are unacceptable, and that his grant + should be revoked. +
