[FFmpeg-devel] FFmpeg "supporters" doxing

[Rémi Denis-Courmont via ffmpeg-devel]

Hello all,

It has come to the attention of the FFmpeg Community Council that the owner of the YouTube channel @t3dotgg is being "doxxed". In consideration of the timeline, this is suspected to be an act of retaliation for their recent video "FFmpeg needs to change" and/or other statements.

Many people in the community disagree with him, and some (including myself) have even been upset by the video. That is **NOT** a justification for doxxing.

Such activity is not acceptable or even tolerable in any circumstances. Period. The people involved are not welcome in FFmpeg, and I think that they are in fact  not welcome in the broader open-source community. Besides, this sort of action gives us a bad name and is doing us a disservice.

The CC reserves the option to take further action under the FFmpeg CoC.

Thanks for your attention,
Br,

N.B.: This message is my personal opinion, but I doubt that anyone else in the CC will disagree.

Any type of retaliation is useless, dangerous, and counter-productive.
We need calm and peace to work on codecs, not social media fights.

Indeed, thanks Rémi.
