I agree with what another person has said on github- the rust community on reddit is incredibly toxic. The last time such a thing happened, there were losers who made personal attacks on Nikolay. Then Nikolay showed up in comments being angry that he had helped that particular loser only a few days back.

Its easy to create blog posts and comments about RIIR, its not easy to actually write code.

If anybody actually wants to fix this issue and prevent it from happening again, I'd start by instantly banning /r/rust users for 3 days anytime they do a circlejerk.

Blaming 86k people for the actions of a few is toxic.
