I'm not involved with @ffmpeg at all, I simply volunteered to help them triage and fix incoming reports, and tried to explain why maintaining non-flagship codecs is important. I disengaged after some gross messages - I don't know why they're posting about me now.

@FFmpeg Please, I don't want to be involved. I was simply trying to explain the value of vulnerabilities in obscure codecs to attackers. I don't want you to do anything, I was offering to help you manage vulnerability reports.

@taviso google is like the second largest user of ffmpeg on the planet and they don't send patches

@steubens7 I'm not involved with Google, I volunteered my own time to write patches for them. I obviously regret that now.

@taviso @FFmpeg I'm sorry you're going through this, what the ffmpeg account does is a masterclass in bullying

@taviso @FFmpeg Don’t engage online with someone who hides anonymously when they are talking in a manner they wouldn’t face-to-face.
