It's funny how the job is called a "Community Manager" yet the person they gave that job to has never built a community themselves in order to manage it, they're just terminally online, mentally ill activists abusing their newly given power to enforce their personal views on everyone else across the community they're now in charge of to compensate and virtue signal for the social unfairness they see in society/the world, as if it's their personal account and not that of a company/employer. How the hell did they decide to give such a person such an important publicly facing job is beyond me.

Community manager is weird place as it is not valued or seen as actually important position. You don't really need education or even significant experience to work in it. And basically when things go normally there is not that great impact. Plus the part of community they usually deal with is not exactly great... But as seen here it can be also extremely destructive position. Possibly capable of brining down any good will or work done.

That's why you should vet those people and not let in those wishing to use their new position to put down others based on disagreements on personal belief.

    This is why no professional organization should conduct themselves on X (or Twitter), period. Open Source software can say stupid shit and still get used because it's actually superior to paid alternatives (eg. MPV). Godot is lucky - if they were a real business, they might have to worry about offending people on the internet.

      Plenty of organisations used Twitter to promote their stuff for good.

        And now they use X, to self-promote their brand to extremists and misinformed critics.

        I'm mortified. What could possibly become of my favorite MIT-licensed software product now? Has any Open Source product (besides Wordpress, be fair) self-destructed themselves on Twitter before? I didn't use Twitter but none come to mind.
