That you assume anyone who is even slightly hesitant to agree with you is a bad person is exactly the reason political statements, as good-intentioned as they may be, put people off.
I don’t need an extra risk when choosing a tool. A divisive political statement, like it or not, is an extra risk.
- zogrodea 3y agoI agree with your point in general and dislike political drama which is often a headache, but people are starving and dying and being held hostage out there... so I don't really think this is the time where that sentiment is appropriate. Some decades from now, a gesture like this might be seen as similar to Bram's fundraising for Uganda (Vim's start-up screen) which is worthy of appreciation too. Most likely, a negative reaction to this is because it's an emotionally charged topic in the news and on social media.
