I've written a lot of Rust code that's in production in web, messaging and telephony contexts. I considered using Actix early on, but as soon as I saw the large amount of unsafe code, I stopped considering it at all.

I did not go on the Internet and try to convince other people not to use it. I did not complain at the maintainer that he should manage his project differently. I just didn't see why a library doing what Actix does should use any unsafe code at all, so I didn't use it.

When I later saw the way the maintainer responded to well-meaning bug reports, including patches, that validated my decision.

There's no need to flame people for running their open-source project the way they want to run it. You can just not use the code.
