Raccoon, what happened? (lemm.ee)

Anyone know what happened with Raccoon for lemmy? I use Obsidian to download and update the app from Github but now it tells me there's an error when I try to update it. I tried checking the Github page and I get an error there saying the website doesn't exist.

It was taken down by the developer after a sh*tstorm originated in this community which was damaging his reputation as a professional, since his real name was associated with the repository.

Damn, that sucks. Did the dev state that explicitly, or is that just speculation?

From his explanation before removing everything:

I find myself in a very uncomfortable situation right now because, after revealing my personal information as the project owner, the current circumstances create a real damage to my public image as a professional and as a person. My coworkers, my managers, my employers (current and future) can see all of this and my personal reputation is compromised.

That's too bad. I didn't think that post was intended to damage any of the devs reputation, just to provide some useful feedback and critiques on what were already great apps.
