> In one of the previous ones, they said there was high suspicion it related to 'hatred against a transgender developer in the company' or something like that. It's a lot of resource to expend for a personal vendetta. Transgender people work in a lot of places, my next question would be "why this one?". My guess would be that there is something that pays for this financially. It could be that it's a specific repository on Sourcehut that hosts a competitor, for example. Of course it's all speculation.

IIRC $100 can buy you 24h of DDoS service. Some people spent way more than that for personal vendetta.

It’s not personal in the same way Nazis organizing hate against Jews is not personal. Trans has become the new focus chosen out group of the culture war and we’ve had to deal with this fascist ideology shit for a while now. Here’s a great real would descent into the insanity of these people, fueled by the pandemic. After reading it, there’s little doubt that this bullshit is infectious https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/p6ovxr/an_indepth_and_interesting_analysis_of_benjamin/ https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/p6ovxr/an_indept...

  > It’s not personal in the same way Nazis organizing hate against Jews is not personal. I don't think such a comparison is useful here. That said, there is a clear difference between group and individually focussed hate. For some reason Sourcehut is clearly being singled out. > Trans has become the new focus chosen out group of the culture war and we’ve had to deal with this fascist ideology shit for a while now. I don't think it is a strictly fascist ideology at all. I see people on both the left and right with a range of opinions on this subject. You'll find the majority of people are resistant to any form of change, whether rightfully or wrongly. > After reading it, there’s little doubt that this bullshit is infectious https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/p6ovxr/an_indept https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/p6ovxr/an_indept... It's difficult to know who is the insane one there, the person who is committed or the person who dives so deeply into another person's life. I think it would generally be a mistake to assume that this attack is based on the gender of a single employee at Sourcehut. To me it would be just as likely to be something they host, or something they refuse to host.
