The word master has many usages. One specific context (master/slave) is inappropriate, but that doesn't mean every other context is unusable now.
Github changing master->main was the epitome of virtue signaling. This literally does not affect black people at all, nor does it do -anything- to help with racial inequality in the US. It's actually quite patronizing and tone-deaf to think that instead of all the things -Microsoft- could be doing to help racial inequality, they're putting in as little effort as possible.
Congrats on granting power over words to unreasonable people who ignore things like context in language and common sense.
