"Fork the project on Github, and add yourself as a signer in a pull request."
Seriously? Just because they redesigned the profiles to look like Facebook that doesn't make the forks the new "like".
- humbledrone 14y agoI actually thought that the whole "fork to add yourself" thing was interesting, in that it would add a tiny bit of weight to the signatures. The bar for signing is to have a Github account, and to know what "fork" and "pull request" are. The probability that someone who can add their signature is actually a developer is presumably somewhat higher than if there was a big green button that any disgruntled user could casually press. [EDIT] I don't use or care about Twitter, so I'm not trying to defend the goals of this particular petition. I just thought "fork to sign" was kind of interesting.
- viseztrance 14y agoSay this catches on and you have two push requests, which one are you going use, because odds are you need to merge the second one by hand. This is not practical, but at least you get a fork.
- theyCallMeSwift 14y agoI'll gladly manually merge in this case. It doesn't scale obviously, it's more novelty than anything else.
