Update was from 3 days ago, I'm really hopeful ladybird could be a future browser option to help break the stranglehold chrome has over the market, while Mozilla is struggling to find meaningful direction.

It seems like an exciting project with monthly progress updates :) they keep chipping away at compatibility.

You phrase that as if turning down a pull requests in general cannot be anti-LGBT, when they obviously can. I don’t think your link helps.

No one is trying to hurt their characters. Just stating how their actions appear.

No one is trying to hurt their characters.

Then I suggest not spreading comments referencing "anti lgbt stuff" when (as far as we have seen) there is nothing anti-LGBT about them. Even if you mean no harm, it can do damage, by coloring people's perception of the project and its leadership.

Speak for yourself? They have repeatedly politicised changes that make the codebase more inclusive. The thread you linked too did get heated, but this seperate PR was perfectly calm and they still locked it, while providing really contradictory reasoning. They say they don't want to "alienate anyone who'd like to join in the project" but their use of male-gendered pronouns throughout is doing just that...

I don't know if any of what you claim is true, since I haven't followed those discussions. However, even if true, none of it would mean they are anti-LGBT.

Okay, but are you going to be satisfied with anything short of them saying "I'm anti-LGBT"?

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I would be satisfied with people not making wild, misleading, insulting claims about others in the first place.

I wonder why you're so intent on arguing in support of that behavior.

Thanks for telling me what I needed to know.
