@verius I wouldn't say he's one of the true believers, as it were, but their head guy or PR guy or whoever that bloke that's posting everything is, he comes off as one of the fringe element types of them. -

Someone ought to make a comic strip out of #balaclavaman
He keeps trying to fix his chronic laptop posture problems.
He always types wearing biker gloves, and is barely able to manage to type "password" without all kinds of amusing typos.
He often bumps into doors because his balaclava keeps slipping over his eyes. -

@bob A whole company actually, but I can't say I'd mourn their loss or whatever, after reading this page of theirs: https://community.highlandarrow.com/notice/513096 -

Socjus eats it's own. It always does. Those two going at it is just more proof. -

A project either respects all four freedom or I don't think it has any business being in the FOSS community. -

By the way, that project Github banned can go burn in the same pit Github does. -

@nerthos Wow. I don't disagree, but that's a burn and a half. -

@maiyannah Anything that can be compared to furry forum drama is enough to show the company's administration is not porfessional, and this can. -

@verius @nerthos Well, they still act like one, don't they? And to be fair, some inexperience and mistakes are a natural part of making a company. You're going to have some mishaps, do some things you shouldn't, and make some mistakes that anger people. If they're a mature company, as you suggest, they will have learned from that, and taken the steps to go thro… -

@verius @nerthos Especially when it comes to moralizing with these "inclusive" and "progressive" companies, there is zero degree of latitude. They are, after all, authoritarians. Any deviance is punished, usually without even warning (as we see here) and with impunity. -

@verius @nerthos Most of these start-ups do not take matters like these seriously in a way that's fair to anyone but themselves, no. -

@verius That was the official reason anyways. The unofficial reason is the people running the project in question was influential in socjus circles at the time and made a big stink about opinions I expressed on Twitter (that weren't related at all to the project). I'd contributed to the project before then, but went to fork it when I had that falling out. I don… -

@stigatle I dont have this review up yet (working on it as I type this!) but you can check out all of my previous ones on there too. I've been writing on that site since 2013 :) -

@verius It's exactly why I used git.gnu.io and later now my own gitlab for postactiv and our own projects - I do not trust them as an infrastucture provider not to fuck me, so I self-host, which honestly is probably ideal anyways. -

@stigatle On my main Highland Arrow website (it has all my reviews). The community instance is just a part of it we use instead of a forum or other software, because we all think the Fediverse is pretty neat :)
The website is just www.highlandarrow.com as opposed to the instance being community.highlandarrow.com -

@verius Personally, given my own experience with GitHub after I was banned for forking a project "without permission" (you don't need permission to fork a GPLv2 project, incidentally, and to impose such a restriction is in direct contravention of the license), I am hardly surprised to learn they deal with others in similarly heavy-handed measures. -

@verius This is why most TOS have those blanket "we can do whatever for any reason" backup clauses, but really, it sets a bad precedent. And I don't say that because of the ad thing. I don't care about that actually, insofar as them hosting it. I'd avoid a project that had such ads as a personal choice, but I don't care if Github does or does not host projects w… -
