  • I understand having severe philosophical disagreements with the Rust project, with the majority of Rust users, or with the uutils project specifically. What I don’t understand is this part:

    If you go to the website of the Rust programming language nowadays, one of the first things you’ll notice is that their primary communication platform is Discord. Yes, you read it right - their primary communication platform is Discord, a proprietary spyware program that is owned by a Chinese investment company and has backdoors to various other national intelligence agencies too.

    Rust did have an official Discord, years ago, before switching to Zulip (alongside other official communal hubs, most prominently the Discourse forums that the author complains about next). But this was written in March and specifically says “nowadays”, and I cannot find any mention of Discord on the Rust website.
