Comment on This Looks kinda cool, but does anyone have any experience at vetting a project like this?

  Welp, that issue has “officially” been deleted, as well as a followup issue asked by another person asking about that first issue feeling fishy.

    While a full ‘deletion’ of such an issue is certainly unfortunate, I can kind of see how it gets to such a decision point.

    You’re creating some software in the open, decide to ping some communities on reddit/lemmy and all of a sudden it seems like a disgruntled brigade is breaking down your door while you just wanted to show them the garden.

    What for us looks like earnest sleuthing can feel like abuse/harassment from the other side simply due to the asymmetrical nature of the internet.

    Would have probably still preferred a closed issue instead, but having a couple ‘niche-successful’ repos on github myself - I can at least certainly empathise.
