If you are participant of the Gitlab community, you could speak up in that thread and say that you are not OK with people being insulted over a disagreement. I won't fault you for not wanting to, though. You would probably be attacked

Do you consider the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be political? If so: you are equipped with the necessary building blocks to define hate speech in a non-political way. If not: your definition of “political” is so broad as to be
