(oh, good. I’m still confused by the state of affairs) A few YouTubers, not just Lunduke but also Brodie!!, have shown screenshots of a now deleted thread from the GNOME Discourse forum… where Piers wrote that he was removed and compelled to remain silent… he uncovered evidence of embezzlement or how you would call it… there was little money left precisely because it was stolen… and GNOME users were left in the dark…
(Not sure if OP can read this, but let’s go…)
Didn’t GNOME receive some funding a few years ago and pretended they don’t want to implement stuff so that they don’t have to pay contributors and instead pocket the money? Wasn’t that what Sonny Piers revealed this year?
Welcome to the threadiverse, where
an instance will have ideology
a platform software developer will have ideology
a front-end client developer will have ideology
Satire aside, enjoy this fraught freedom while it lasta, before the ID verification police will force us off the clearnet.
Did those users not hear they can dodge Age Verification by using a different Bluesky compatible app?..
Bluesky are transphobic and Islamophobic “centrist” twats, but the protocol they’ve developed is kinda decentralized and so can be used against their wishes… there’s even one app where you can keep posting even if bsky.social or whatever your home instance is marked you as “banned”… lol.
