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?

to be clear for those not in the loop, this would be the thing going around about Meta/Facebook and NDAs, correct?
Ayup.
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.
Update:
Thanks to everyone who reached out, fediDB.org and fediverse.info will remain online going forward.
I’m not going anywhere either, though I think I need a break from the fediverse for a few days.
Thank you for the updates.
I don’t agree with having a conversation under NDA with anyone, but I’m also not a platform creator on the Fedi and I don’t think attacking folks is ever helpful.

How do I make a link preview in this crazy thing?
It seems comments and posts behave differently. Or maybe it’s because I’m on mobile?
