Where do you get that from? I see no indication of it in the OP nor in 355E3B’s other comments and more importantly the comment I’ve linked to says this is not the case.
The post was drafted before Filo’s departure and it had no influence on the situation. We don’t attempt to recruit or retain notable developers.
The way to be influential here is to contribute or help write good policy, whether that’s insightful criticism of problems, suggesting new guidelines, etc. Not saying anything to mods and then publicly denouncing pretty much rounds to zero influence, especially because taking it seriously would encourage people to brigade us.
It’s actually coincidental.

Not that coincidental. Losing an influential person was the last straw.

Eh, Valsorda had 137 comments here and around 1800 karma. Respectable yes but influential on this site, no.
