- miki123211 2y agoIt's wildly unpopular among a different bubble of the developer community, mostly concentrated around Mastodon and the fediverse. Edit: It's worth noting that it's one of the most vocal and well-organized communities in the tech world, very prone to outrage, seeing the world in black-and-white, mob justice and piling on whatever is currently unpopular.

- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoSo it's just axiomatic that people who disagree with you are coming from (any of) a list of fundamentally illegitimate motivations that you can think of? That makes life easier for you?
- lolinder 2y agoDo you have any evidence whatsoever that this AI stuff was unpopular among the wider community? These kinds of cases where open source maintainers cave to pressure are almost never the result of consensus among all users. It's usually the result of a small number of people brigading the issue tracker until the maintainer gives up and does it to shut them up. Unfortunately the result is often against the interests of the wider community.
