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

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.
