The title is sensationalist. Looks like someone at Godot responsible for Twitter communications and Discord (not a manager of the engine) is banning folks for mild comments. Anti-woke people on Twitter respond by implying this community manager is somehow responsible for the quality of the engine itself (?), and making politically charged, blanket anti-LGBT statements using terms like "leftard", "rainbow people" and "mentally ill".
Basically more social media drama, and the worst kind too.
- nevermindboy 2y agoMy friend, this is not as small as it seems. Here's why: 1. That person is the godot community manager so yes, a manager. 2. That person is banning people for even quoting the original author of Godot who said that people with different political opinions should not be isolated or put a label on. 3. That person has banned several discord users for disliking their messages on the discord servers. 4. Several developers have been blocked by Godot on GitHub too. 5. A discord user was banned for having a bio that read something along the lines of 'save children from being mutilated by woke clinics' [paraphrased]
- gspetr 2y agoI've read some of the threads, and it appears that Discord and X are not the end of it. Apparently, this same CM also runs Godot's Github account: some people have reportedly been banned on Github as well, and if that's true, having non-technical activists run your Github account is wild to me. There have also been reports that some developers who are Titanium level backers (i.e. at least $100 monthly) of the Godot engine have been banned as well.
