I don't know anything about the history/context here, but in general an example would be if a developer were to receive gender-based harassment.

#114Why would you want to use HTTPX2 over say requests?
Requests has been dead for over a decade. It doesn’t support HTTP/2, it doesn’t support HTTP/3, it doesn’t support async, and they ignore security vulnerabilities for months.
Nobody should use requests. If you are still using it, the quickest way to get off it is to switch to niquests, which is actively developed, supports all the things I mentioned above, and API-compatible with requests - you can just do `import niquests as requests` for an instant upgrade.
Re: Migrating to HTTPX2
#115we have recently switched from httpx for the same reason but instead went with the Rust-based pyqwest (runs on Hyper) it has also a drop-in httpx-compatible transport so migration was easy and also it supports http2 trailers https://pyqwest.dev
Why not pyreqwest?
because pyqwest is what official connect Python library uses and we wanted to follow that

You know you can delete emails and messages you don’t like, right?
And again, both genders can write good/bad software just the same.

> All of it, anybody using the open source, should be free to use, modify and collaborate on a project independently from the mental issues of the one that started it. closing repos just goes against all of this and should be a shame.
You are making a false assumption that open source software is about the author surrendering is rights and forced collaboration. It is not.
Open source software is about the use of a license that grants the end user rights to study, modify and publish modifications (basically giving rights to fork) under the same or compatible license, often with mandory author attribution. There is nothing in these licenses about original author duties on maintaining a project open to collaboration, it is only about user rights.
