I made a pull request for a plugin I used frequently. They didn't like my changes so I deleted my pull request. For that I was accused of not being open source, so I deleted my GitHub account. Then they mocked me further. I almost killed myself! I still haven't created another GitHub account.
- wlkr 11y agoNot being aware of the situation I cannot comment on the bulk of your post, other than to say that I hope you are OK now? I'm always cautious about pinning anything I do online to an identity - HN is actually about the only site I use where I post under my own name. Largely this stems from not wanting to make mistakes and avoiding any possible future public repurcussions. I truly wish anonymity was more embraced on sites like GitHub. For instance, I think the ability to hide your identity from others when submitting a pull request would strongly encourage people to contribute, which could only be a good thing.
