Just… Wow. Is this a deliberate attempt at torpedoing the community?
No
This amount of tactlessness, shared on all social media simultaneously to get the maximum amount of visibility?
Timeline of events:
- June 11th, one day after suspension release: ask domen for my commit bit back
- June 19th, 03:36 PST: domen asks if I could “post on the commits issue”
- 10:36 PST: I reply “sure”
- ~12:00 PST: Me: If I need to justify my activity, may as well justify why my commit bit was lost
- 14:13 PST: I post my initial commit request
- 14:40 PST: Already see ~4 posts in outcry, make discussion on discourse to allow for outlet of responses
- 14:43 PST: May as well see what reddit thinks if I’m going to get shutdown on discourse. Looks like my fears of dangling my commit bit might be true.
- Go on errands for 2 hours, and comeback to this.
Even labeling it drama before the drama happens to ensure half of reddit will fall for the clickbait?
During the zulip discussions, a lot of member of r/nixos expressed oversatuation of all the drama stuff, I said that I agree it was tiring, and wish we had some labels, one of which being drama.
Provocative question as a title, prompting readers to engage and respond, hijacking the algorithm?
As I mention above, one of my fears post suspension was to dangle my commit bit back, and use it as a means to publicly humiliate me (again, e.g. this thread and others).
