Audacity fork maintainer quits after alleged harassment by 4chan losers who took issue with 'Tenacity' name

So here's a recap of what actually happened:

Telemetry was added to Audacity. Some webdev named cookiengineer on GitHub forks Audacity. He makes a poll for how the fork should be named as a GitHub issue where you vote with reactions.

Someone posts "Sneedacity" on the poll issue and then makes a thread on /g/ telling people to vote for Sneedacity.

So people vote for it, a couple idiots spam "sneed".

Then cookiengineer turns out to be mentally ill, claims that 4chan is harassing him, makes it sound like all 200,000+ active 4chan users are after his life, posts on Twitter and HackerNews, claims that 4chan found his phone number and address

Literally none of that happened in any of the threads on /g/.

He claimed that he was mass-called and got spammed SMS on his Pinephone: first says on Twitter that he's glad his Pinephone didn't crash, then, when a well-disguised /g/ troll asks him on his HackerNews thread the list of phone numbers that spammed him (pretended that he wanted to block them on his phone), he said that his Pinephone couldn't handle all the calls and SMS and kept crashing so he "had to reflash the device". Caught red-handed contradicting himself.

He deleted his tweets when people shown that he's contradicting them.

Then he actively asked people to mass-report the Sneeds-Feed-and-Seed/sneedacity GitHub repo (/g/ ended up making its own Audacity fork) and its contributors, which is a violation of the GitHub Community Guidelines.

Also claims that 4chan stabbed him with a butterfly knife (no joke).
