You mean the dev rejected a BS request that simply wasted his time & served no real purpose, while the project WAS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT & called him a bigot for fun.
Once again, qualifying inclusive pronouns as an ideological motivation is pretty bad. Implying that you have to be a regular contributor to point out a problem makes no sense either.
If people are willing to let the rejection of a single code comment change for misguided reasons make them stop supporting a project completely, I suppose they can enjoy the Apple/Microsoft/Google/Mozilla monopoly on web browsers.
Thanks. I have a lot of respect for people who put time, effort and what little money they have into a project benefitting a community.
My patience is shorter for people that make noise about these projects conforming to unrealistic standards or making a big fuss over trivial matters, (particularly in an armchair quarterback manner). FOSS project developers deserve a lot of slack, and making mountains out of molehills only serve to discourage people’s drive to continue contributing to open projects. Identifying issues is fine, but jumping to conclusions following a slight miscommunication by an ESL developer labelling them a bigot is not helpful for anyone.
There’s a big difference between the Proton+ Andy Yen thing vs. this for example. I was willing to give the former the benefit of doubt initially, but since the official Proton accounts doubled down on mirroring Yen’s opinions, that convinced me that Proton’s ideals will follow Yen’s support of Trump rather than pursuing goals independent of its founder.
Ah yes, or the whole “using gender-neutral pronouns is a political move that shouldn’t be allowed” debacle

Took much more time and effort to reject, say shit and deal with the consequences.
And yeah, trying to say that being inclusive is propaganda is bigotry, sorry.
Except the guy didn’t even say that & you are simply finding excuses to hurt people.
They guy wasn’t exclusive now was he.

Wow you are a rare breed of reasonable people, why aren’t there more of you

Also on another topic, I really wish there were more opensource communities on different lemmy/Mbin/PieFed instances
Lemmy.ML is simply not good enough
