    Why do you think this was locked? This fucking thread is a mugshot of a dev contributing to an open source project.

      So they knew it was against the community and went right ahead?

      There wouldn’t be “this” thread if they had taken the community into consideration.

      This isn’t the gotcha you think it is. That “engineer” is contributing bullhorning this bullshit on multiple Linux based repositories.

      The thread was discussing age verification from what I read, but I read it when it was already locked. I do not think harassment of the dev is appropriate and the article and this post is also needles drama imo. But the issue of age verification itself I think should be discussed by the community and not just accepted by one dictator.

      Edit: I misread that you were talking about the GH thread. Yeah this thread is kinda shit, but discussion on how and if age verification should be done is important imo.

      1000x this.

      It doesn’t matter how much you disagree with the change, brigading harassment is gross and should be called out every time someone tries.

      This post should be nuked.
