Morten LinderudPeople are rightfully angry at age verification laws.
That doesn't justify any harassment campaigns towards *any* FOSS developers, maintainers nor contributors. Turn that anger towards something productive.
Get a grip people, holy shit.
Pomax@Foxboron what if we turn the anger into calling this out in the issue trackers? Which is what folks did. Then the issue tracker got locked down.
Your toot is pulling double duty as both "don't harass/doxx people" which, yes, obviously, don't fucking harass individuals. Good call-out.
But at the same time it *also* reads as then saying "don't complain to FOSS maintainers" which, no, you absolutely should. Everyone should complain loud and publicly about nonsense like what systemd just pulled.

wtf right do i have to complain at systemd? I'm not going to compel their labour just because they've made bad calls.
Problem is; our social contract is extremely thin and devs owe users NOTHING. Unless those users are funders or have some actual relationship.
The amount of self righteous entitlement going around is incredibly obnoxious and the wrong way to organise for this problem.
Osmose@doctormo @TheRealPomax @Foxboron the user outrage at this is a signal that the social contract is thicker than you suggest
The outrage suggests users would dearly like the social contract to be more robust.
And yet it remains wafer thin.
If it wasn't thus, users would simply pull their funding. Or cancel their Christmas cards. Stop sending sausages through the post to the developer team. Or perhaps stop making fun little cartoons vignettes of the project mascot.
Yes it is disempowering. And annoying. But real change comes through relationships that are healthy and capable of handling the critique.
