A single troll has managed to create an insanely huge drama and loss of tons of people time.
I'm not optimistic about the future of Free Software. Especially with the new tendency of some projects to consider that people can be offended about pretty much anything, especially if it is completely trivial, and that the utmost priority is to attempt to not offend anybody on Earth.
Because like we saw here, attempting to not offend by modifying trivialities is actually going to offend way more people.
And this is exploited by trolls.
- omani 7y agoI commented on a similar case (on a gitlab thread) and got downvoted. I dont mind. it wont change the truth. my comment was: "because it all comes down to the root cause: the attack on an area which until now couldnt care less about politics. now in the context of "free speech" we try to brake the last known union out there in the world. developers, who have only let code speak so far." we will see more and more attacks on free speech (in the name of free speech), open source and companies and people who contribute to open source.
