- coldtea 11y agoYeah, that sounds like it should be a project twitter account. That would be in violation of a project's public image even if he just posted cat pictures...
- duncan_bayne 11y agoIt seems like splitting Twitter accounts - one for Opal-related stuff, the other for personal - would be the right thing to do. I've asked for clarification here: https://github.com/CoralineAda/contributor_covenant/issues/59 https://github.com/CoralineAda/contributor_covenant/issues/5...
- rewqfdsa 11y agoWhy shouldn't I be able to mention biographical details in a personal account? I should be able to mention being from Milwaukee, liking hot dogs, or working on Redis if I want to.
- duncan_bayne 11y agoIndeed. That's my take on it too, which is why I've asked Coraline (or any other contributors) for clarification.
- coldtea 11y agoYou should. You just shouldn't name that account with the name of a project that's not yours and you're just one of the people that work on it, giving a false sense that yours is some kind of project account.
- CookieMon 11y agoI think there's a miscommunication in this thread. @opalrb is the project's account, and is not the account Elia was tweeting from. His personal account is named with his own name, not the project's. The complaint was about what he said on his personal account. When comrh said "His twitter bio has "@opalrb core" in it" they mean that in the description for Elia's personal account he calls himself a "Ruby hacker and @opalrb core" (and a bunch of non-code related things). If I'm imagining this misunderstanding then please ignore.
- duncan_bayne 11y agoYeah, that's my understanding too - which I wouldn't have described as representing the project.
