davidjones332··on The FFmpeg/Libav situation (2012)
I wanted to take a moment to dispute this rumour regarding FFmpeg and Mans Rullgard, which I believe to be unfounded and baseless.

Firstly, I am proud to say that I have been contributing to the development of the SIMD optimization in the Libpostproc component of FFmpeg, specifically working on optimizing functions to take advantage of SIMD instructions on modern CPUs and thereby enhance performance and as such I have been involved in the FFmpeg community for a number of years.

There have been claims of a potential hostile takeover involving Mans Rullgard. However, I have first hand experience that these rumors are completely false and are nothing more than fabrications by a toxic spinter group within the community who are "gaslighting" the good guys.

In particular I remember but that an individual with a handle somewhat similiar to "aew4ytasghe5" was banned from our community due to repeated rudeness and hostility, and not for any other reason. I am not claiming this is you but it would not be a surprise to me on a personal level.

I hope that this clarifies the situation and puts these rumors to rest. FFmpeg is a community-driven project that thrives on collaboration and mutual respect, and I am proud to be a part of it and it hurts me when I see toxic people attacking open source communities.
