@cobra for example, my first interaction with Jason was when he submitted a bunch of patches to Charybdis to "show the freenode staff that they are incompetent" or whatever it was.

In my naivete, I tried to redirect his maladaptive behavior into working on ircd. This led to a disagreement between myself (as the BDFL of the Charybdis IRC project) and Christel Dahlskljaer, wherein Christel threatened to KLINECHAN the entirety of #charybdis if we accepted code from Jason.

This is why I discussed the situation with rasengan, which set into motion the entire shitshow that happened next where he fired Christel and then proceeded to take over the network and run it into the ground.

But the reason Christel had the position she had was because Jason was harassing freenode staff due to their decision to not collaborate with him.

Her position was bad (threatening a FOSS project she depended on to deliver freenode services), but his conduct was also bad.

My goal was to redirect his conduct into something more productive.

Since then, I have heard about other instances which line up with the same pattern of behavior I was trying to redirect in the first place.

@crwx Not in my code, but in other programs that don't have my beautiful #emacs bindings.

But I'm about to switch to a keyboard with #qmk firmware (#bastardkeyboard #charybdis ) and use #kmonad for a similar setup with other (laptop) keyboards, so I hope to use my bindings *everywhere* soon.
