just another dev

Or option C: there’s a discussion going on about an open source project, and you’re starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn’t downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.

For the past half hour I tried to read into what’s happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:

1. Communities are gonna drama.
2. Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn’t be allowed to.
3. I really don’t care enough to waste more time on this.

For me it’s just generic influencer dislike. Wouldn’t go as far as hate though. It’s just that I pre-emptively don’t care about what they have to say. Clickbaity titles “this is why…” (without explaining why) certainly don’t help.
