The impression that I got from Andreas was that he just didn’t want the repo being flooded by politics because it ultimately is cruft in that doesn’t advance the project technically.
He obviously didn’t foresee the harm it would cause to the project by controversy and boycotts, how do you think he would’ve acted if he had?
I think we’re all generally left leaning as people on fedi and tend to get in our echo chambers and think that we’re closer to the global centre of political spectrums than we actually are, but I think it’s important to understand where the majority of people stand so we don’t get out of touch.
You have to remember that over half the voters of the US election voted for Trump. It is true that they’re American, but I think we should be trying to understand why they did so rather than screaming at their face every time they deviate from our views of the ideal.
Also, can we stop disparaging the opposition with names? From my point of view the left seemingly calling every Republican a “Nazi” sounds just as stupid as the right calling everyone on the left “woke”, and I think this applies to anyone outside this bubble of politics. My belief is that we should be organically introducing that meaning to the name “republican”, rather than diluting a historical term.
I personally got very negative vibes from that comment. It takes literally nothing to merge/refuse the PR. Instead, he replied with an extremely charged and hostile statement.
Grammar PRs are common in open-source projects. Ladybird has had fair amount PRs relating to grammar, that have been merged. Are those not “cruft in that doesn’t advance the project technically”? What’s so specific about this PR?
Also, if a person cannot see the effects of their statement on such a charged topic, then that showcases blatant stupidity and obtuseness.
