Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Linux users failing to respect trans Linux developers (awful.systems)

Sorry, no sneer today. I'm tired of this to the point where I'm dreaming up new software licenses.

A trans person no longer felt safe in our community and is no longer developing. In response, at least four different forums full of a range of Linux users and developers (Lemmy #1, Lemmy #2, HN, Phoronix (screenshot)) posted their PII and anti-trans hate.

I don't have any solutions. I'm just so fucking disappointed in my peers and I feel a deep inadequacy at my inability to get these fuckwads to be less callous.

I assume the second Lemmy link is suppose to go the .ml thread and not p.dev, as that comment section seems fine?

You linked a feddit.uk thread instead of a lemmy.ml thread.

I linked to a feddit.uk view of a post in [email protected] because I was being lazy.

Strange.

If you want to find out whether Lemmy users are transphobic, ask them what Drone Rights did wrong.
