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.

      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 writ large 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
