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.

Such a fucking bummer too...I really like kde
It's surreal seeing the internet pivot 180-degrees to full blown harboring bigotry.
I noticed those comments were removed today. Cheers for finding the archive of them.
The turn KDE has taken is absolutely astonishing. I regret the donations I've made to them :(
Edit: they did ultimately ban the racist, though it's not a great look that the person exposing the racist was also banned.
Another one...
David sure called this one. O_o
Welp, both blocked now. For some reason both. And the entire work item removed... Update the post maybe?
Looks like they switched the entire proposal thread to private, it can no longer be viewed.
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.
