@gnukeith on X, a @Brave + $BAT Ambassador specifically chosen by Brave is now promoting far-right extremists on X.
Brave CEO, Brendan Eich, was previously ousted from his role as CEO of Mozilla, after it was found that he had donated to Prop 8, a campaign in California aimed at banning gay marriage. Despite Brendan Eich claiming at the time that he regrets his decision, he has since made multiple social media posts defending his anti-gay position.
At some point people must decide whether they wish to ditch the Fox, as Brave started advertising to users searching up Firefox on the Google Play Store, or if they want to ditch the anti-LGBTQ+ browser.
Wouldn’t that technically be hardware?
The point is that many of these open source projects are hugely supported by open source developers in the LGBTQ+ community & minorities from all over the world. It requires building diverse inclusive communities, cooperation & support for these projects & members to exist. There is absolutely no room for hate & bigotry.
Then these anti-DEI incels come along & complain about diversity telling them what their projects should & shouldn’t, essentially wanting to remove the communities, cooperation & support that make these projects successful. They don’t even want to contribute, but just want to complain. Then they go find some right-wing software, realize it sucks ass, then come back & complain more about why can’t the software they want to use cater to their hate.
I remember the moment Walter Bright of D fame started to do something about letting bad people use the language (the infamous “let nazis code” line), the number of contributions didn’t really drop at first, instead it started to slowly pick up its former popularity it lost with the Dv2 release (long story short: the language foundation unleashed the attribute hell on the language, then people moved to Go or the then freshly started Rust).
With all love and respect I work in IT you don’t need to preach to the choir.
