In my opinion politics should stay out of software but sadly it gets harder and harder every day. In any case - banning people (some of them contributors and developers) from all platforms only because they suggested that Godot should "focus on software instead of politics" is terrible and harms the project and its community. And all of this started because of a woke tweet which had nothing to do with Godot engine whatsoever. We are living in interesting times. I hope Godot does not follow all the other companies who walked the "go woke go broke" route.
Between this and vaxry’s ouster from freedesktop because his project’s Discord allowed crude and tasteless speech years ago, I’m wondering how many more projects will fracture or make some of their discussion channels private. I believe Free Software will survive social media, but it’s deeply troubling how quickly people insist that they can’t possibly work with someone who has differing politics or worldview in general, or how many actually go and seek out a hill to die on for their tribe. It seems the best policy
It reminds me of the old Emo Phillips joke about the Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council. You’ll find a reason to spurn anyone if you look closely enough, and it seems to fill a religion-shaped hole for some culture warriors. https://youtu.be/l3fAcxcxoZ8
This sketch is a gem, I liked it! It is absolutely correct - people can and will divide if this is their goal. Sadly this mass social disintegration on all levels affects negatively various free software products. I don't even hold any extreme political beliefs (I think) but nevertheless I avoid discussing any politics in any professional environment because it's just not the place for these types of discussions and it usually doesn't lead to anything constructive or positive. I never cared what my peers' political/religious beliefs were and through the years never had problems with any of them. It was a simple life - as long as all of us did our job the final products were of decent quality.
Perhaps some kind of a policy which would treat politics as off-topic and would discourage discussing it would be beneficial to such projects in the long run.
i think you have it backwards, you miss where the godot community manager has all kinds of hateful nwords rants? and the people who are hateful just have opinions like "how about we focus on the mission"
seems pretty official to me, its the discord the main site directs everyone to and godot made this person the moderator of. and then that person has access to block people from the official x account?
My understanding is this was the official Discord for years until they distanced themselves from it last year. However, I don’t think there’s an official one, or at least not one that anybody uses.
The community manager blocking everyone on GitHub and X for quoting their founder’s words about not lumping people into groups or staying out of politik is not the same person as the Discord mod “xananax” who was dropping slurs in 2016.
Why are you asking me? I thought I had it backwards.
You clearly have an agenda with the way you're constructing your statements so let me break this down for you in little itsy bitzy bite sized pieces:
The statements you're referring to were self-referential, so no one is supporting the use of the words AND no one is getting banned for using satirical jokes against themselves. The statements were made by a non-foundation member.
This might be a complicated subject for you to understand, but please know I've tried my very best to make it easy for you.
But hey, if you're really peeved off about it and believe otherwise, it's open source. You can leave if you want to.
i'm not peeved off about anything, just surprised godot supports this person and allow them to go on banning spree's on their "unofficial" (pretty much official) social media's.. over comments that did not go against any guidelines, one person banned from even just quoting a godot founder. you do have it backwards so no need to break anything down to "little bit sized pieces"
Lol alright I'll play along troll. I now believe you may just be said community manager based on how out of touch with reality you are, and how aggressive and gaslighting when people post facts while posting absolutely nothing substantive yourself. Go back to reddit.
My video I linked explained everything as did op's.
You wre still being a crybully and your gaslighting wont work here.
Since I'm so wrong here's[1] yet another update about godot heing forked over the kerfuffle.
You can call me what you want and live in denial all you want, it wont change the facts no matter how hard you 'Reeee'
