It was certainly not intended as a character assessment and it’s unfortunate you took it that way. I’m talking about how the release notes (and in passing your post) were written and not about you as a person or maintainer.

I do hold release notes of a public project with thousands of users to a different standard than anon lemmy.world comments in a feedback thread. Is that interesting or surprising?

I believe there was actionable feedback given. You are of course free to dismiss it.
