This is a really depressing article about the free and open source community mistreating maintainers.

@TheEvilSkeleton with all the compassion about not being paid but harassed, I have to point out β€” he is not a good person, he is literally a genocide apologizer. After Russia started the war in Ukraine, in his "anti-war" statement he accused Ukraine of bombing Donbas children for 8 years (a popular propaganda) and stated that Ukraine is gullible as much as Russia.

Even in this long-read he chose to ignore the war as "politics" that supposedly don't belong in open-source. But ignorance is not something that can justify indirectly leading to, starting, and supporting the war. In the discussion, he even bans anyone who will want to rightfully debate on this topic.

I also have very serious doubts about not being able to see 2 drank asses on a crosswalk β€” that sounds like a silly excuse. It's impossible not to notice even a cat on a crosswalk unless you are distracted and don't pay attention to the road. This topic, however, isn't banned from discussion.

@delight_aug do you happen to have a source for that? I just checked on Google and couldn't find anything relevant.

@TheEvilSkeleton right now the only thing I have is this https://twitter.com/roman01la/status/1625254253156528147?s=20

I've asked the poster to give me a direct link, waiting for a reply

@delight_aug thanks. My apologies for my poor reading skills, but where exactly does it make him a genocide apologizer?
@TheEvilSkeleton denise what? He apologizes, not denise
@delight_aug sorry, I meant apologize
@TheEvilSkeleton "But in this situation nobody is good" β€” that's were he puts blame on Ukraine and that's the apologizing part. It's "we're bad BUT you're the one to blame". And then he proceeds to silence people with the "where you were 8 years" statement.
@delight_aug ah, that's fair. I didn't grasp the context, so I couldn't figure out what he was saying. Thanks for clearing that out! And yeah, that's a terrible take.
