Whatever happened, this is not the way to air this information, or the right medium to judge someone (1 tweet).

Sebastian makes himself look bad here, and added to it that he is leaving babel, to start a competing product with VC funding, makes his public take-down of babel even worse.

Yes, but he also says he’s mentioned it privately many times. When the appropriate channels are exhausted, this seems appropriate for an OSS project where transparency is part of the formula.

Especially since the problem is being framed in a way that OP thinks is incorrect and misleading.

I don’t like “back channels” on open source projects because they make it harder for new users to get into the project. Discussions should be open and accurate, not behind closed doors.

As a potential donor to this project, I’m glad that OP posted this as otherwise I wouldn’t know about their weird way of dividing donations.
