An old version of a related contact page: https://web.archive.org/web/20250320001430/https://gweidart.... lists as a donation link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Newcomer214 So, gweidart is probably this guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-newcomer-7275aa228/

github is meant for collaboration, designing it around adversarial use would be a loss for everyone. Adding a function to report absusive edits rather than an entire post would be a better choice imo.

> designing it around adversarial use would be a loss for everyone hmm... isn't this more of a 'personal viewpoint'? why are you stating this like a fact? moreover, how would it "adding Edited by ~" constitute as a "loss for everyone" ? I agree on adding "report abuse" button, but if no one notices that edit, how would anyone know what to report in the first place?

Ditto... I love Zig as a language but I worry the high-level community builders (including Andrew) are a little too antagonistic to foster a positive, tolerant, patient community in the long term. In saying that, my infrequent interactions in the reddit and discord are always pleasant.

I don’t think Andrew is a bad guy, but his tone seems to attract a certain kind of person. All the technical people I’ve interacted with in the Zig community have been awesome, but for whatever reason it also attracts a lot of people who are just there to shit on anything mainstream.
