long story short.
>the owner of blue systems, one of the main sponsors of KDE is dying and he no longer will sponsor them.
>A KDE developers (NATE) sees the oportunity and creates Tech Paladin, a new company to continue with the legacy of blue systems and invite the developers that worked there, but he wants to keep all the profits and just pay to the other developers as external workers w/o rights.
>Jonathan Riddell dont like the idea and propossed something different where all the developers have workers right.
>he get ghosted from all the meetings
>the other KDE developers stop talking to him
>he is now out of KDE after 25 years.

> But in the end I lost my friends, my colleagues, my job, my career and my family. What’s a spod who just tried to do the right thing for society to do? Dunno. For now, if you want me, you can find me surfing the endless wave whenever the sun sets over my digital nomad coliving paddleshack at the end of the world.
For someone obsessed with workers rights, it seems he allowed himself to easily become exploited.

feels like theres something else going on he left out if all of his friends and colleagues (of 20 fucking years) stopped talking to him because they went to a new company and he didnt want to. Something about his version of events just feels fishy... suspicious. Not saying hes lying but, maybe theres more to the story...

almost certainly
he also says he lost his adopted children, so that indicates some deeper chaos in his life
