I can see why you feel this way because I have similar feelings towards Voat, an alternative to Reddit that has unfortunately attracted a horribly racist crowd.

I can see why you feel this way because I have similar feelings towards Voat, an alternative to Reddit that has unfortunately attracted a horribly racist crowd. But jumping to the conclusion that the author is somehow disturbed, especially when you can probably use this site without ever seeing that content unlike Voat, is a bit much.
You might be right, but you might also be assuming a lot about someone who was just looking for a GitHub alternative.
- woodruffw 8y agoI would have gone with "potentially receptive towards bigotry" rather than "disturbed," but I take your point. I am indeed making an assumption, and maybe I shouldn't do that. But as a practical matter, I find it increasingly difficult to take things on the Internet at face value. There are enough interesting things out there that aren't associated with bigotry, and so it's a harder sell when projects (perhaps inadvertently) are.
