i am leaving the revolt team.
i joined revolt in september 2021 after a discord server decided to make the switch. i was invited to the revolt team that december (god how has it been over 2 and a half years). it's been a mixed ride, but i can't deny that a lot of it has been fun! working on revite, rvmob and the new web app, meeting a LOT of wonderful people, learning a lot about quite a bit and honestly just working towards the vision of a chat platform that respects you have been really nice. i certainly don't regret my time here.
but in recent months, things have changed. a once close team feels increasingly divided and hostile. external contributors have felt excluded or driven away, and there's been a common lack of transparency bout what's going on. i'm glad the CLA was removed and that the Android app is being open sourced, but the fallout from that whole mess still weighs heavily on me and i'm worried the attitudes shown there will resurface.
it's not all revolt - i've also been dealing with
