To be clear, this is a link to the reddit thread ^^^^^^
Speaking as a complete outsider reading between the lines (i.e. wildly imagining)
There's the Core Team of Rust, the programming language. These are the ruling council, or so they would have us believe.
Then there's the Mod Team (they don't really do it for free, the resume fodder from contributing to a project like this can be a direct lead to a job).
The Mod Team has just pulled the biggest stunt they can, a mass resignation with a strongly coded letter.
Where we get to speculate is: which core team members?
Could it be the one who said "Kill all men" on twitter years ago? Yes, people are so petty that they might care about what was said on Twitter! Surely none of you, here, would ever stoop so low, as you are supporters of the frozen stonefruit.
But one can imagine a scuffle over this misandry and whether misandry even exists causing a deep rift.
Whatever happened, it's come to this mass resignation and the puffed up coded sneeding (we wouldn't want to breach confidentiality or cause trouble for individuals) will spill all out over everything.
How big a deal is this?
I expect some expulsions from the Core Team and the welcoming back of the moderation team for having handled this severe action with restraint.
Orrr... the Core Team rules with an iron fist! And just instates new moderators.
But this is the point at which the money behind everything will start asking some questions.
And the first rule of being a cattle: the disruptive cattle get the axe.

I'm calling it: this has to do with Ashley Williams, former interim Executive Director of the Rust Foundation and woke troll extraordinaire.
The early days: triggering the NPM community with woke bigotry... while working for NPM, inc.
Fauan claims that Steve Klabnik and Ashley Williams are in a romantic relationship and Klabnik is throwing his weight around to protect her; also alleges various malfeasance
Steve Klabnik vaguebooking about Amazon intruding into the Core Team; Fauan claims this is because Amazon denied a job to Ashley
You can see these types coming from a million miles away, I don't know why anyone still wants anything to do with them.

So according to you I am a coward because I post stuff on the peepee show subreddit when I dislike Peepee (absolutely nonsensical on every level already, why shouldn't I post, why posting be cowardly, why should any post on the internet require "courage"?). After you pathetically failed trying to zing me, I explained to you why I post in r/freefolk and other subs and you still can't get two neurons to fire in your oversized skull in order to put two and two together and deduce a potential answer for your question (very stable genius).
So I'll be gracious now and tell you exactly why I posted on the sub, if you can point me to any of my posts there Sherlock. You brought it up, so you must have a specific post in mind.
Link me the post and I'll enlighten you! Tick tock.
