It seems that, as a rule, modern open source communities devolve into an utter shitshow. Well done to the voices of reason, thumb voters and the maintainer for handling this appropriately.
- Aaronstotle 6y agoYes, I find it incredible that seeing a word like "cop" makes someone uncomfortable/unable to do their job. Reading the rest of the replies made me feel like I was crazy one. (thankfully the thumb votes show that most people disagree) I know these people mean well, but I view these people as bullies disguised as allies.

- cmdshiftf4 6y ago>they are projecting US-centric views on to the wider world innit? Projecting, maybe, but at the same time the last few weeks have shown there's a not insignificant amount of people in other Western countries who are addicted to American culture, latched closely to the teat, who are all too eager to have American issues imported into their own societies.

It's ridiculous that these people who have contributed nothing to the project think they can come in and tell those who have devoted a huge amount of effort to it what they should be doing. The level of entitlement is simply off the scale.

- baddox 6y agoWhy do you consider this a shitshow? To me, it just looks like a thread of people discussing whether to change the name of the software project.
