wiki.froth.zone is probably down forever (wikiless proxy) so I was forced to look at normal wikipedia today … dear god. That FUCKING BANNER

Do not give these fuckers your money!! They dump millions into alt-left causes, their editors are more biased than North Korea, and they have enough money to maintain their servers for over a decade!

Imagine?! I had to watch it until i stopped watching TV in the 70's!! Stopped reading "newspapers" decades ago. Surfed through radio stations since they invented those buttons- oh i guess that was my whole life.

@spook @Pawlicker @gray @adiz I saw something like this happen on a github project over a prolonged period of time. Someone completely unhinged decided that because the lead dev was from Hungary they were inherently evil and bullied them off the project using a combination of throwaway accounts throwing crazy vitriol in every single issue thread, bad faith code commits, accusations about license conflicts to try and pull the maintainers of related projects into threads and IRC channels, a fork that intentionally tried to relicense the code against the wishes of all the other developers (it was consciously GPL 3 and not GPL 3+, this person forked and “changed” everyone’s code to GPL3+, even contributions from projects with other licenses- it was also the most effective vector of attack since all the trouble was gone to to vote on relicensing and this person lost but clearly didn’t care and forked anyway), a campaign against this person offline (of course), and attacking any other major contributor who misread the situation and thought ‘maybe this person can be defused into a decent part of this community.’ This went on over a year. I had the project watched and so I got email digest updates filled with this person attacking everyone and everything, evading github bans and returning with worse and worse usernames, attaching themselves to every single thread with newcomers who were just trying to help a project they didn’t know much about and defaming everyone involved.

The lead dev and most of the other people keeping that project going eventually left, and that person “won.” To this day they have their own illegitimate fork of the code and still point people opening issues to their dysfunctional fork. They were always more interested in ‘winning’ than making the project (at the time an interesting but pretty fragile experiment in censorship resistance) any more useful to anyone.

The lesson is, these people don’t stop. They won’t leave you alone. Every time you hope they’ll go away is an affirmation to them that they’re getting away with it. Ridicule them loudly, because there’s a reason they try to make everything a ‘serious matter’ for the audience of their online tantrums, they know that if attention were called to how pathetic they are, they would always lose, so they instead parasitically attach themselves to whatever issue ‘matters’ so they can excuse being as horrible as possible.

As much as people shit on minds their AP implementation is new clean room
