I absolutely understand not liking opt-out telemetry. Do people generally not like opt-in telemetry? Is this really why the community shifted to a different project?

AFAIK the “issues” with Audacity were only that they added optional telemetry, and made the project lead a former Microsoft guy.
I may be wrong, I avoid looking too much into this type of drama.
