the Go maintainers are now claiming that objectors to Google's opt-out telemetry proposal on the Go compiler - yes, really - are arguing in bad faith and violating the Code of Conduct, and their comments are getting hidden.

well done lads, you just keep doing that as hard as possible. i'm sure it'll work out great.

@gewalker @davidgerard How is the Amazon influence situation with Rust? There was quite a big kerfuffle about it somewhat recently.

@csepp @gewalker i mean. amazon is not quite as awful as palantir. or crypto.

@davidgerard @gewalker Amazon causes way more environmental and social issues than cryptocurrencies, not that I'm a fan of most cryptocurrencies. I wouldn't be surprised if they also provided infrastructure for Palantir.
That's kind of part of the problem with them.

@csepp @gewalker @davidgerard Could I get some help to decode what this comment means?

> Amazon’s “principals” are intentionally defined complimentary (as in colors) to covertly sabotage performance reviews. Reviews are 100% LP based. So any positive point has a counterpoint built in. Anybody that doesn’t drink the kool aid gets hammered on until they quit
