In my opinion politics should stay out of software but sadly it gets harder and harder every day. In any case - banning people (some of them contributors and developers) from all platforms only because they suggested that Godot should "focus on software instead of politics" is terrible and harms the project and its community. And all of this started because of a woke tweet which had nothing to do with Godot engine wh…

Between this and vaxry’s ouster from freedesktop because his project’s Discord allowed crude and tasteless speech years ago, I’m wondering how many more projects will fracture or make some of their discussion channels private. I believe Free Software will survive social media, but it’s deeply troubling how quickly people insist that they can’t possibly work with someone who has differing politics or worldview in general, or how many actually go and seek out a hill to die on for their tribe. It seems the best policy It reminds me of the old Emo Phillips joke about the Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council. You’ll find a reason to spurn anyone if you look closely enough, and it seems to fill a religion-shaped hole for some culture warriors. https://youtu.be/l3fAcxcxoZ8

The person I replied to already did that and we clearly see you continue to ignore it. Here[1] is a video in case you are incapable of reading said article. [1] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq7g9NurIlg

This sketch is a gem, I liked it! It is absolutely correct - people can and will divide if this is their goal. Sadly this mass social disintegration on all levels affects negatively various free software products. I don't even hold any extreme political beliefs (I think) but nevertheless I avoid discussing any politics in any professional environment because it's just not the place for these types of discussions and it usually doesn't lead to anything constructive or positive. I never cared what my peers' political/religious beliefs were and through the years never had problems with any of them. It was a simple life - as long as all of us did our job the final products were of decent quality.

Perhaps some kind of a policy which would treat politics as off-topic and would discourage discussing it would be beneficial to such projects in the long run.

Lol alright I'll play along troll. I now believe you may just be said community manager based on how out of touch with reality you are, and how aggressive and gaslighting when people post facts while posting absolutely nothing substantive yourself. Go back to reddit.

My video I linked explained everything as did op's.

You wre still being a crybully and your gaslighting wont work here.

Since I'm so wrong here's[1] yet another update about godot heing forked over the kerfuffle.

You can call me what you want and live in denial all you want, it wont change the facts no matter how hard you 'Reeee'

Edit to add the video. Troll wont watch but others following the thread will so it's worth it for posterity.

Your every single comment here has broken the guidelines Ree Ree

Edit to beanjuice- this is the aforementioned crybully tactic. Break the rules until you do then point the ringer and ree louder.

Again we are fighting facts and they are replying with nothing but ad hominem attacks.l and nothing but.
