- orionblastar 11y agoShe opened this issue on the Opal project: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 It lead to this issue: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/942 https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/942 Which asked for a code of conduct. It forever changed how Github works, and trolls got involved in the issue threads as well. You can read the threads if you want to hear the arguments from many sides.

- duncan_bayne 11y agoMy take on this: https://medium.com/@duncan.bayne/coraline-2893dc09aea1 https://medium.com/@duncan.bayne/coraline-2893dc09aea1 "To be blunt: based on observations of outspoken SJWs like yourself, hackers like myself think that there is an unspoken delta between your stated aims (which as I’ve said are often noble), and your practice, which is to use open source projects as a weapon against their contributors when they behave in politically unacceptable ways (e.g. OpalGate and Brendan Eich)."
- generic_user 11y agoApparently Github was impressed by her amazing community management skills and positive interaction with developers. Shadow banning abusive pull requests, safe space repositories, perhaps even a search ranking handicap for underrepresented COBAL programmers. I'm Excited!
- 13thLetter 11y agoThere's no possible way that GitHub management didn't know about her past attempts to have open source developers blackballed for their political views. The only logical conclusion is that GitHub's new management is completely comfortable with that kind of behavior.
