minus-squareSineNomineAnonymous@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up52·2 days agoIf you read the developer’s background and reasons for the fork, it’s actually a lot more… cringe. Pretty much, the guy lost his shit because Mozilla is woke / SJW / DEI and all the lovely buzz words used by certain people.
minus-squareNia [She/Her]@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up18·2 days agoThanks for sharing this, looked into it myself and that’s quite unfortunate. Why does every piece of cool software end up having some reactionary midlife crisis behind them?

minus-squareAatube@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 days agoThat would make sense. I’d like some links.
minus-squareSekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up34·2 days agoNgl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising […] And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their “inclusivity” policy… we also don’t know what was reported, only the reasons stated. Not saying that it wasn’t unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it’s written in a way that raises some red flags.
minus-squareKeriKitty (They(/It))@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·2 days agoPretty bad when one side’s perspective makes them look awful and the other side is the one accusing them of being awful 😬
minus-squareAatube@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days agoI agree that I’d be very curious as to what the violations actually are, but… No specific instances of violations are referenced in the CPG emails There’s no language in the CPG emails regarding prior warnings Suspension from the council is clearly out-of-process
