So the orange site is having a normal one over Python BFDL trying to skirt CoC by talking about mod actions against some old dude who caught a suspension for being precisely the sort of edgelord poaster I’d expect out of a Python maintainer, which the orange site was also not happy about. I even read a bunch of his posts in the thread, like where he calls people standing up to NixOS leadership “true villains”.
These are not “Python community guidelines”. These are the guidelines of a tyrannical clique who have grabbed power and control the access to the infrastructure.
Lmao, fucking armchair revolutionaries at it again with interpreting a list of rules which essentially boils down to “don’t be an asshole” as the literal end of civilization because it’s attacking their assumed right to use slurs and insults free speech.
Makes you think that it’s always the same kind of people who seem to have a problem with not being a racist twat in a public space. Feels like I’ve seen similar discussions a dozen times in the Rust community too whenever the term inclusivity comes up.
oh my god, that weird fash fucker is absolutely pulling a NixOS and trying to burn down the Python community over a well-deserved 3 month suspension
and the only reason I know about this shit even though I’m barely involved with Python in any regard is because one of his fans/alts was spamming mastodon with a blog post defending him, and fully half of it by scroll bar position was just fluffing the fucker’s previous achievements, then at almost exactly the halfway point it started describing all the shit he did and hoo boy does he deserve a lot more than a 3 month suspension
it’s fascinating how this is almost exactly the same situation as with what’s-his-face getting suspended from Nix and the project’s older maintainers pulling ranks to get the toxic fucker back
There certainly is a pattern of people who used to be helpful and productive in the past who then turn into edgelords in the community later, and nobody dares to go after them because past achievements pattern.
Lol, of course the edgelords (I think there were 2, not really clear to me atm) have Dutch names. Typisch. Anyway, we tech people really need to learn that being good in tech, and getting tech changes approved is different from being good at modern community management and avoiding the pitfalls of those.
