Why I left MEE6

I leave MEE6, and here is why

TL;DR

To make a long story short: due to some internal problems in the MEE6 organization, which were identified and recognized years ago but never considered important by the bot administration, it is time for me to officially step down from my volunteer role along with a number of my mates and friends.

MEE6: The beginning

I started my journey with MEE6 almost as soon as I arrived on Discord, in 2017. It was then the only Discord bot I knew, and I loved its then all-white and very simplistic dashboard, its small and very welcoming community (there was even a French-only channel!), and the general atmosphere of the bot. It was not uncommon to chat with Anis, the founder of MEE6, about many things. I especially remember the day when he leaked what was going to become the xp leaderboard page, now known by all. I have really good memories of that time.
