Hi all,
In light of recent events, I've felt compelled to reflect on my time in this community and as a developer, and also on the future...
It was recently discovered that a fellow member of the Xonotic team has been speaking privately with multiple members of the community and development team in an effort to "gather dirt" on me, culminating in what appears to be a very disturbing document. I've provided a fork of the document's repository here for posterity: https://gitlab.com/Mario/xon-mario
I have no intention of countering any of the information provided there, as any who were involved will know the truth and I'd prefer to avoid further conflict.
This discovery combined with a lack of contributions led to a poll (https://xonotic.devfull.de/xonvote:27500/poll/405) among the team to have him removed so as to not have his actions sanctioned by Xonotic. They have since decided to support his actions by allowing him to stay.
This year especially for me has been centered around personal development and mental health, so it comes with a heavy heart that after 10 long years growing as a part of this community, I must say goodbye to Xonotic and everyone here, as this drama has taken too big a toll on me and shows no signs of stopping.
Rest assured, development will continue as it always does, Xonotic has plenty of talented developers supporting it.
Best wishes to you all and thank you to the good people here for everything.
