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.

    Thanks! I don’t think I’ve ever gone there from more than a headline and out, but given the type of people who would be into a “startup accelerator”, seems to fit that it would be a bunch of shitty takes on… Just about everything.

      HN is a site for temporarily embarrassed billionaires who desire nothing so much as the blessing of Paul Graham and Garry Tan, so there’s a lot of competitive bootlicking

        I briefly thought “that could be funny to watch”, then thought “oh no, oh no no no! That would be horrifying to watch!”

      QoL of not knowing orange site things is probably a measure better than knowing them, so you’re ahead a bit on that round
