Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sorry, no sneer today. I'm tired of this to the point where I'm dreaming up new software licenses.

A trans person no longer felt safe in our community and is no longer developing. In response, at least four different forums full of a range of Linux users and developers (Lemmy #1, Lemmy #2, HN, Phoronix (screenshot)) posted their PII and anti-trans hate.

I don't have any solutions. I'm just so fucking disappointed in my peers and I feel a deep inadequacy at my inability to get these fuckwads to be less callous.

The only toxic comments seem to be on Phoronix and everybody's talking about those. What do the lemmy links have to do with anything?

Yeah classic attention seeking behaviour. Just say you’re stopping work on it for personal reasons, or give details. The only reason to tease gossip like this is because you like the drama.

hey fucker I found one of those toxic posts you don’t seem to be able to see

just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's incomprehensible - only that you're lacking

I understand it completly, thank you. It has nothing to do with someone's status as a person. I'm grateful that they spend their time and energy on open source. It's a shame they're being brigaded. They still did something called vaugebooking.

women do not owe you the details about why they leave a community and if you/the community as a whole feel entitled to the answer, then you have the fucking answer

It's not exclusive to any one group of people, but it is a widespread phenominon that has been scientifically studied.

it's cool that you discovered a word that lets you call Asahi Lina unnecessarily dramatic and attention-seeking in a way that lets you believe you "never gave an oppinion on the matter" and that you're just neutrally observing a scientifically studied phenomenon!

wait no "cool" isn't the right word now is it

It's actually fine to be vague if you don't want to go into further detail.

I never gave an oppinion on the matter.

I'm more interested in what we call what you're doing. Is it sealioning?

Quit trying to gaslight.
