It looks like quite a bit of people liked this post, and it got a good amount of boosts so far. Rather than responding under Tenacity's fediverse account, I'll respond as me, and for myself.

I personally want to continue Tenacity on the direction it's currently going. I felt that there's been a lot of effort and work put into it that I would rather keep and not give up. I've had plans for Tenacity for several years at this point, and I still intend to carry them out, even if they take a bit of time to do so. To me, Tenacity doesn't feel like just Audacity minus telemetry, cloud features, and AI plugins. Having seen different people contribute to different parts of Tenacity, I know there's a lot more than just removing those features. I know that it will still be a lot more once we get more things completed. It will take time, but it's my dream to get there, and we'll make it happen.

Of course, we could always do another rebase, just like we did with 1.4. However, Audacity 4 is a completely different program, and I would assume that a lot of things Tenacity already has would need to be rewritten at least to a heavy degree. Did we lose work with the Audacity 3.7.x rebase? Possibly, but it's my intent to merge anything lost back again. That's also why I don't want to do another rebase too, since both Tenacity's and Audacity's respective histories are too divergent at this point.

So overall, I personally want to continue the direction Tenacity's currently following, because awesome people have contributed to Tenacity that make it more unique.

With all the above being said, I would still like to talk with other maintainers and contributors, but I think we'll be on the same page.
