    This is a good time to introduce survivorship bias. You are looking at what is still there. Not what has been removed, burried or was done via dms/non public comms.

    Or maybe you are right and they are just making up the toxicity remarks.

      however that doesn’t mean moderators didn’t nuke such comments before I could see them.

      Im well aware of survivorship bias and even addressed it in my comment.

      It isn’t the first time devs have shifted blame for their failures to their customers.
