Luna comes across as unhinged and obsessive, in both public communications and in Lina's document detailing her experience with Luna (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W2Vvwg0rwSVb5r4TQ_NmAF8S...). As "Luna said so" is really the best you got, I'll keep viewing this claim as entirely unsubstantiated.
Luna is also the main developer of Inochi2D, the software used to animate Asahi Lina, and is acknowledged as the character's co-creator. Your ad-hominem attack on Luna aside, do you really think Luna would not know who Asahi Lina is? Who do you think Hector worked with in order to have "Asahi Lina" appear on his stream?
The first line of your Google document, written by "Asahi Lina", confirms it straight up:
> Unfortunately, on August 1st, Luna publicly: Doxxed me with a real-world identity
You should verify that reference for yourself, archives of what Luna said are readily available on the internet. I can confirm that what Luna said on August 1st, 2024, is the same thing she's saying today: Hector Martin is Asahi Lina.
The dossier corroborates Luna's claims.
(Also, what kind of person has a dossier ready to go if their contributor goes rogue? A controlling and manipulative person, that's who.)
We don't know who "Jia Tan" is, nor "Jigar Kumar", but we know that the person, or group of people behind these identities and others, used sockpuppetry to bully Andres Freund into giving them control over xz-utils, and we know what they did with that access. Even if pseudonyms are accepted, there should be zero tolerance for sockpuppetry in the Linux Kernel. If Hector Martin quits (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250207-rm-maint-v1-1-10f069a2...), the personas/pseudonyms/avatars/characters of Hector Martin should quit too, but "Asahi Lina" continues to post on LKML.
When your argument is "a person said it so it's probably true", the natural next step is to ascertain whether that person is credible or not. That's not an instance of the ad hominem fallacy.
