I'm not sure what you think that thread says, but it seems to confirm telemetry was added, then they lock the thread to end the discussion. Which is always a sign of bad faith. Did you mean to link to another where they removed all the telemetry they added?

Note that it says "closed" at the top. Pull requests which are merged say "merged", like this one: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/5484

You can verify for yourself that there is no telemetry code in Audacity.

Oh good. Hopefully you all learned something? Forgive me if I remain sceptical, though. I'll stick with the fork.

We've definitely learned something. And I can forgive you being skeptical, all I ask from you is to also be skeptical of outrageous claims.
