I'm sorry to have to do this, but please take a moment to read:

Phil Torrone, Managing Director of Adafruit—using various accounts named "ptorrone" on various platforms—has undertaken a campaign of bullying and harassment against various people in apparent response to an argument that took place on Bluesky, the details of which I'm not clear on.

In the course of this campaign, anyone stepping in to defend his targets has also become a target.

As of yesterday, this includes myself.
