I’m glad to see they locked it so rapidly once the pile-on began. I don’t agree with their position, but the comments over the past couple weeks have all the hallmarks of Internet mob behavior: “It’s been months since you made your decision and I’ve decided to stir up controversy about it again”. I’m not sure where this was posted about three weeks ago, but that led to the pile-on beginning here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/717#note_787127 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues...
And now we’re here having a dramatic outrage over it too. It’s not a great decision, but linking to this Reddit post was far less effective than linking to a blog post about this controversy would have been.
I wish we could have read a proper written story posted to HN about this, rather than being expected to sort through a haphazard pile of user comments without context. Is this only interesting because it’s disagreeable? Is the survey methodology the focus? Why did this matter to whoever posted it? Tell us a better story next time, OP.
