Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

During the AI policy discussion on https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/work_items/187 someone called a KDE contributor out for their bigotry. KDE banned the person calling them out and removed all the comments.

I'm not seeing where svin is linked to bee_fumo. Can someone point out where they admited those are their tweets?

Apart from the proof @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net posted, bee_fumo was also live-posting the whole thread on twitter https://x.com/bee_fumo/status/2102032995695645121

bee_fumo and Svin share the same avatar, and Svin's response saying they know who in that thread like their X posts, and they later edited that post to this (which is still viewable/hasn't been removed):

"You must be a fan of mine trolling from X" is admission that they are the same account.

And further down responded with this:

Okay that makes sense. Did the kde forum mods give a reason for the ban?

Not that I'm aware of.
