Yeah, I've made mistakes. Real ones. I own that.

What I also own: 8 years of open fediverse work, fully open sourcing Loops, and doing the hard work of making things right with people I hurt.

I'm embarrassed by who I was then. I'm proud of who I'm becoming.

I'm still here. Still building. Still learning.

It's worth keeping in mind that Loops is made by dansup which has also made and runs Pixelfed, FediDB, and has a history of being hostile to developers.
You can see the recounting of his hostility at https://dansup-open-letter...
(I'm not a signature of the open letter)

This comes up here and there to discredit the developer but having followed all the drama for many years now I just want to add that Dansup has apologized multiple times, and has been far more open about his process. His communication has also changed for the better over the last two years especially. Its not easy being human, and I think its a good sign to see that he takes this seriously.

@dansup seeing influential people in areas of the internet I value have humility and not just letting their success go to their head heals my soul.
