Phoronix really needs to do a better job at moderating their comments.

That Intel post is absolutely rammed full of misogyny and transphobia.

@gamingonlinux They'd be moderating everyone who isn't a bigot 🤭🤭🤭

@gamingonlinux what post ? I've seen that post on twitter and yes they're bs but are there more?

Nevermind i found it they're obviously 4chan users

@gamingonlinux I made the mistake of clicking on the comment section of the recent article about the Asahi dev stepping back from contributing to upstream kernel development.

You know, that article with "Rust" in the title.

I will never read the comments on phoronix again. For my mental health.

@gamingonlinux Phoronix truly is the cesspool of the FOSS community.

@gamingonlinux Like I said in other places before, its all Michael's fault for not caring about having any sort of moderation whatsoever.

As long as he can get money from clicks and ads, he won't have any incentive to get rid of the trolls and crappy users.

@gamingonlinux Addendum: And I think people should stop giving him money.
@gamingonlinux one comment in and it already started.
@gamingonlinux I managed to do something recently where they nuked the comment section, because it was like 300 comments full of that 🙃
@karolherbst oh, what did I miss?

@gamingonlinux https://www.phoronix.com/news/Karol-Herbst-Nouveau-No

got a lunduke video within _hours_ on this 🙃

The entire alt-right Linux scene went absolutely nuts because of this. It was fascinating to watch.

Karol Herbst Steps Down As Nouveau Maintainer Due To Linux Kernel's Toxic Environment

Karol Herbst has been a Nouveau driver developer for over a decade working on this open-source, reverse-engineered NVIDIA Linux graphics driver

@karolherbst Oh, you got lunduked, what fun
@gamingonlinux "Leftist Extremists Leave Linux Kernel, Demand Conservatives Be Banned" 🙃

@karolherbst @gamingonlinux Bryan “Technology & Politics: let’s keep them separate” Lunduke…

I’m a bit ashamed I used to enjoy his “Linux sucks” talks back in the day.

@karolherbst @gamingonlinux Heh, somehow, "got a Lunduke video" sounded in my mind as something worse than "got COVID".
@gamingonlinux "It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Do Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Doing It."
@gamingonlinux If Michael starts moderating, he is going against the majority of the remaining user base, while there is no hope, that sane people are going to join.
Therefore Phoronix is going to cultivate this behaviour until the cesspool is going against Michael.
@gamingonlinux yeah, it has gotten really bad recently. They use woke like it is a bad thing. Since when was having empathy bad?
@gamingonlinux It's weird that they won't deal with it. I know I stopped going to the site quite a while ago because of it. If they don't want to deal with moderation, they why not just turn off comments? Letting those comments exist on their site makes me feel like they are implicitly okay with those comments, and that made me stop going to their site.
@gamingonlinux white guy in Indiana who complaims about taxes and people ad blocking his site so he has to put more ads on it making the site literally unusable and has nazi trash in the forums? Seems legit

@gamingonlinux @LibrationPointThree Whenever somebody makes comment like this, try replacing white with black.

If the comment is racist after replacing the color, then it was racist before as well.

Just my cent to cultivate discussions as these calls never brings anything good

@gamingonlinux Phoronix's comment section is a meme at this point
