@lanodan Another community project ruined by personal politics. What else is new?

@xianc78 This one isn't just politics but more like personal behavior, the thing of effectively not listening to the rest of the community by doing your stuff by yourself and forcing the rest of the community to either accept it, cope with it, or go the fuck away.

The maintainer of PaleMoon has been doing that lately. It's why I jumped ship to LibreWolf as my main browser.

@lanodan I liked it because they even forked the Gecko engine, so it was the only major browser fork that allowed you to truly break free from the Google/Mozilla duopoly (or monopoly when you realize that Mozilla is really a second head of Google).

@lanodan @xianc78
they spend more time harassing maintainers than developing the browser
@xianc78 @lanodan I really dgaf about the guy's politics relating to his role as a maintainer -- his high-handed way of making changes that are an active detriment to the project, then shitting everywhere when people disagree with the manner and content of the changes does bother me deeply though
@xianc78 @lanodan Before this whole mentions thing, the sequence of "I wrote soapbox to use a route other FEs don't" -> "the backend doesn't support the route because nothing else uses it" -> "This is a bug in the backend" was extremely :akko_wtf:

[hopefully i've got those details correct]
