@osi@social.opensource.org —
I’ve been in the ICU, and now face months of rehab—plus the urgent need to tend to my family, catch up on study, and get back to work.
You don’t have to take my word for it—another volunteer recently shared her experience (pasted for her protection):

How does what appears to me to be sponsor-funded harassment of members on sponsor-branded platforms serve the public benefit obligations of a tax-exempt charity?
Please, PLEASE—just leave us in peace.

Hey @osi@social.opensource.org —
I’ve tried resolving this privately with your leaders for a month, but to no avail.
My experience of a targeted hatchet job—published & promoted by insiders—scapegoating me for member data leaks, and an official brigading/mass-reporting campaign—has left me no option.
I’ve now filed an initial police report and may have to seek a restraining order.
I’ve resigned. I’m just a member of the public now—asking to be left alone during an incredibly difficult period for my family.

@brendanbertko@anticapitalist.party yeah can relate… never been sicker (and this isn’t even the worst of it).

This is the gift that keeps giving… apparently my condition is “atypical” so I’m switching to final boss drugs and waiting on a referral.
Looks like I’ll be stranded on the wrong side of the planet for longer than anticipated 😢
