| Should have made some popcorn before clicking the link. The drama in the open source community is no less fun than YouTubers or celebrities. Great way to begin Thanksgiving. |

| I'm confused, the incident is that he wrote a document detailing repeated bad behaviour from a well known community figure? And this is a bad thing? And that second link is really grasping at straws lol |

| ▲ | debugnik an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | He apparently pretended to not have written it despite its DNS pointing to his servers, and Certificate Transparency logs and Internet Archive all attributing the page to his domain. Compare the top comment thread in the first link above to his reply there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41838124 I generally like Sourcehut and Drew's writing but I just learned about this and I find it disappointing. | |

| > dmpwn Kinda horrible to see that the 4chan bigots use the same strategy to try to discredit drew devault, and implying things of ownership through their own created fake accounts and smearing campaigns. Pretty much all allegations on that page are circumstantial evidence, especially the bot ownership parts that sircmpwn even took down while citing those bigots using it to scrape child porn. And then the dude of dmpwn posting things on image boards with the tag dmpwn, and forgetting to remove that from screenshots? lol, really? Having experienced the same kind of doxxing attempts by 4chan bigots, /pol/ and kiwifarms, I think I am qualified to comment on how they operate. Maybe someone needs to summon the Antichrist a second time to thin out the herd, huh? |

| Holy shit this escalates completely. I had no idea any of this was going. Is sr.ht tainted now or still a decent place to host code? I can't quite tell. |

| ▲ | cookiengineer 8 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It's a defamation campaign done by 4chan bigots. See my sibling comment. | | |
| ▲ | climb_stealth 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Thanks for mentioning it! Makes me glad to live a life out of the spotlight and to be generally ignorant of stuff like this going on. Would not want to be targeted like that :/ |

| ▲ | skrebbel 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | > Is sr.ht tainted now I hate that this is now a thing you can ask unsarcastically. Just use the tool you like the best man, screw what other people think. Yes, there's people who will go "you're bad because your use a tool that's made by a guy who said something wrong about Stallman" (or whatever he did exactly again). These people are not worth your attention. | | |
| ▲ | climb_stealth 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | My bad, I shouldn't have said tainted. Trustworthy is what I had in mind. I moved my private repos to sr.ht ages ago because it was the open source, free software, ethical, longevitable approach. And stepping away from the mega corporations and everything going on with those. I was wondering whether this was still the case. |
