Better not use cars or computers either, if you’re basing your entire life around whether or not an invention’s creator believes the same things as you.

Yes because it’s literally impossible to not use some services or products because you don’t want to support their makers, because for some reason that means you can’t use anything else either.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion you just don’t like people disagreeing with views that you share

normally i don’t argue with randos on the internet but i typed this up elsewhere and figured it could fit here, not for your sake, but for the benefit of other users, so…

do the people who’re saying shit like “well do you not drive cars either because the auto industry is unethical” seriously not realize that contributing to free and open source software is involving yourself in a COMMUNITY? like that i’m warning people to steer clear of a shitty social space that’s been known to be hostile to our kind in the past??? i’m not just doing this for ragebait engagement farming lmao

Just took a few years and literal internet harassment. I am glad the PR creator was able to figure out a fancy way of wording things to have it merged though. Very smart, lol.

There are two ways to manage something like this. This PR creator did all the right things. A clear explanation into the rational for making those changes citing English as a second language. Not “I’m butt hurt because you used the wrong pronouns and I demand changes now!!!1!1!11one!!”.
