    The person doing free labor and providing open source software doesn’t use the preferred vocabulary… Still a net positive, no reason to brigade their issue tracker for wrong think.

    Encouraging the internet to harass a volunteer is low.

    Nothing stopping people from forking the project changing the vocabulary, and maintaining their fork. But that’s more work than drive by hate

    Are people here reading the whole mastodon thread?

    it is 200% okay to bully them into submission

    Sounds rather toxic, and also counterproductive.

    Based on the content of the linked post and the evolution of the thread here, the mod team has decided to lock this post. There is an important difference between standing up for people who are marginalized and harassment, which this thread has been more or less equating. Please deal with this topic in a more nuanced manner going forward.

    It’s so stupid of the developer to claim that gender neutrality is political. It really is not. It’s just about equally respecting everyone. I’m probably preaching to the choir though.

    I think it’s pretty stupid of the developer to have that attitude. I think it’s equally as stupid to advocate against using a piece of software because of that, though

      I used to really enjoy his Linux Sucks speeches, but man, not sure if younger me wasn’t paying attention or if man went real off the deep end around 2019.

        Yeah Lunduke showed his true self and I’ve written him off as yet another narcissistic crazy in the world.
