  @cr1901@mastodon.social Don't over index on the one example I pointed at. I'm talking about people who fork a project and then say that anyone that rather use the original "because it has more monkeys waving their hands at the code" is stupid. I'm talking about people who fork a project because they flamed out of the main project. People who fork or start a project because the original is "too woke" or some shit. All of those happen often enough that you can think of multiple ones of the top of your head. But they are also a small minority of people, just very loud. When someone is slopping your project, a terse "no, and don't come back", followed by banning them as needed is different from "go fuck yourself". The later might be cathartic, but ultimately does nothing good, not even to yourself because once you allow yourself to remain in that headspace permanently, it poisons your experience of the world. Do all you can to improve things, and that includes getting angry. But a revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having. Make sure to remember to dance.
