It's a worrying precedent in Godot's community management conduct that is the last thing you want to see from a project that is so promising at improving the health of the gamedev ecosystem. Saying that, this is a submission with a fairly technical focus, especially when compared to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41391684 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41391684 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41106977 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41106977 (both of which are luckily [dead]).

  It's actually a pattern of behavior, but no one's done a complete writeup yet. I agree that this single tweet doesn't meet the standards for a discussion point.

      I find Lunduke tends to over dramatize things, even if there is usually an element in truth in what he's saying. Side note: I'm not a conservative.

What was the focus of the two (dead) submissions posted from your account linked above? This one highlights a situation that affects a technical project, its continued community health and future contributions to its development.

    You’re the one fixated over technical focus. HN’s guidelines specifically say what’s on topic “includes more than hacking and startups”. Either way, trawling through history to find something unrelated to nitpick is quite the bad faith argument. You have your fair share of downvoted comments too, but I’m not about to bring those up for a conversation that has nothing to do with those.
