Synopsis
(trying to be neutral here)
Hazycora[1] was informally hired to work on Loops web UI. Then Daniel[2] posted about his idea to launch a video ads network for Loops (which he latter admitted was a joke), and Hazycora commented that such posts hurt people’s trust in him.
This was followed by an avalanche of mutual accusations, which I shall not dwell, as a result Hazycora no longer works for Loops.
Consequences
- Accounts using “hazy.gay” email domain were banned on loops.video with a fake dubstep-posting Kamala Harris account as an excuse. This also breaks guest browsing on loops.gay.
- Hazycora’s username on loops.video was forcibly changed from single-letter “h” to “hazellll”.
- Disassemblies of the Loops client were published on GitHub.
- Hazycora says she has got more than $500 in donations in the past two days; Daniel says his following count is growing, and hers are going down; both claims need verification.

What do you mean by “mutual accusations”?
