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.

Linux users failing to respect trans Linux developers (awful.systems)

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 phoronix screenshot is the only one that contains open trans hate, though (though there's some deleted comments on hackernews, but at least the moderation is working if that's what those comments were) ...

Pretty much proves that it is the „anime alter ego” of the guy. My god, the times we live in.

and if you think the orange site is at all safe for trans people, that tells me everything I need to know

What's "the orange site"?

I don't have any interest in seeking out people being shitty, so I don't want to hunt through the links to figure out which site you are referring to.

Hacker News, one of the sites this specific discussion community is about, per the sidebar
