+#### What's different about your fork than upstream Conduit?
+
+See [DIFFERENCES.md](DIFFERENCES.md)
+
+#### Why does this fork exist? Why don't you contribute back upstream?
+
+I have tried, but:
+- unnecessary Matrix / developer politics
+- bikeshedding unnecessary or irrelevant things in MRs
+- disagreement with how the upstream project is maintained including the codebase
+- infinitely broken CI/CD and no interest in fixing it or improving it
+- upstream maintainer inactivity
+- questionable community members
+- lack of MR reviews or issue triaging and no upstream maintainer interest in receiving help
+- severe bugs, including denial of service and other likely vulnerabilities, not being merged due to things mentioned above
+- no interest in adding co-maintainers to help out
+
+are what are keeping me from contributing. If the state of the upstream project improves, I'm
+willing to start contributing again. As is, I think if folks want a more polished and well-kept version of Conduit, conduwuit exists for that.
