    Isn’t the unofficial successor tenacity since audacity partly switched to a closed/proprietary license?

      It’s not the license. It’s the opt-in telemetry. I’m not sure if this is prepackaged binary or not. Either way, that’s why people switched

        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?

          Given that they were planning to implement Yandex telemetry, I’m guessing the answer is yes. Plus they decided to age “limit” to 13+ to support these changes.

          If I could recall anything I ate today, I’d tell you what else I remember about audacity back then. As it stands, I can’t. So, sorry about that

      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.
