>or employment in the software industry.
For commenting to point out contradictory standards on what is considered offensive enough to remove? Really?
Edit: One satirical (per my own assumption) comment I read was complaining about calling the main branch master. The idea that using terminology such as master is offensive to some people seems at least as plausible as the santa hat being plausible. Perhaps more so as there have already been some discussion about the use of the term master in tech lingo. That is the kind of comment I'm thinking of, but want to be sure we are thinking of the same ones.
- OskarS 7y agoIt's harsh language, but honestly: yes. Microsoft had to lock down the repository because it was being flooded with comments like this. For removing a santa hat. I saw this story about it being removed as well, and I thought to myself "well, that's pretty silly, but whatever" and then five seconds later I had moved on with my life. The very idea that an grown person could be so upset about it that they would actually expend the mental energy to go to the github issues page and voice their opinion with an angry comment is mind-boggling to me. It is, in my opinion, an even more absurd reaction than the original complaint.
- aaron695 7y agoThis is very meta. You've commented twice on the incident now.
