The founder of the fork "temporary-audacity" (now tenacity) announced his resignation from the maintainer role due to harassment during the voting process for the project's name. Users in the /g/ section on the 4chan forum pushed for the name Sneedacity, where "sneed" references the meme "Sneedâs Feed & Seed." The fork's author rejected this name, initiated a new vote, and confirmed the name "tenacity."
Supporters of the name Sneedacity were outraged by this decision, founded a new fork, and tried to publish the package in the AUR repository of Arch Linux, but the AUR repository was removed due to a complaint that the name Sneedacity encodes the medical term "Special needs" and offends the mentally challenged. A call was also published to file a complaint against the Sneedacity repository on GitHub for inciting hatred, violence, and harassment (supporters of the name Sneedacity believe this is an attempt to combat a competing project).
After that, discussions began on the 4chan forum about the identity of the author of the fork "temporary-audacity" and how one could retaliate by getting his account removed from GitHub or discrediting him (for example, it was revealed that he does not program in C, but develops in JavaScript, yet created a fork of a project in C). The author of "temporary-audacity" faced a wave of trolling, slander, and insults, which culminated in him calling the police, as unknown malefactors had tracked down his home address and threatened him with physical violence (according to the fork's author, he was stabbed in the arm in front of three witnesses, but the discussion on the 4chan forum considers this a fabrication).
