This type of "review" is simple McCarthyism. DeSantis, in Florida, has shown us how this goes. The Trump admin is doing this on a pretext of removing politics from science, when it is demonstrably injecting politics into science.
- lelanthran 2y agoYeah, but we saw this coming years ago when hordes were cheering actual banning of words. I wasn't the only one on various forums who pointed out to all those cheerleaders in the "main replaces master or you're a nazi" camp that normalizing banning of words can only hurt in the long run. I do not support banning of speech in any but the most extreme cases, but this still uses "review" at least. The previous "master vs main" proponents didn't even bother to pretend that there was any context in which master would be approved. We've been warning for years, stop being so extreme. And now you, too, gets to see the result of normalizing language policing. Enjoy.

- immibis 2y agoI have never been called a Nazi for having a Git branch called "master". This happening is something right-wingers invented in their minds for reasons yet unknown.
