According to one of the comments:

"""Actually they rejected the PR and just didn’t want to be distracted with endless flame wars over something they’ve already resolved.

To attack open source:

1. Request a controversial and stupid change knowing it will be rejected. 2. Keep talking about it and call people names. 3. When they close your thread cry censorship. 4. When they explain why they closed it cry louder that they just don’t want an open debate. 5. When they explain they already resolved the issue by closing the PR so there is no need for a debate go back to step 1.

Of course you need a couple different accounts to do this, but that’s easy enough."""

Am I going to wade through X/Twitter drama to figure things out? No.

Does that comment imply you are spreading the drama flames? Yes.

Deeper down, "This reddit case is obscure. I searched the forum of Arch for "Age Verification". It does NOT give a feeling of approval from the Arch community. So no conclusions on their stance. bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.…" -- linking to a page I can't read.

People seem to be dumping on Arch based on pure hearsay.

I feel dirty after reading comments about "all the hidden cucks getting exposed" and "some linux "hackers" at a local ISP and they were all woke AF ... lectured me on using the word "retard" ... they eat chemicals that turn them into soy jacks"

OP? Get off Twitter/X. It's bad for your mental well-being.
