• The wokism is becoming more and more intolerant and fascist

  Lunduke ❤

• Can confirm: Gnome code of conduct complaints against core members are simply ignored, and in fact you're likely to get laughed at if you make such a complaint. Which was odd given the extreme militancy of the CoC at the time I tried to make mine.

• I'm putting my tin-foil hat on (although I do have some substance for my theory):
  under a rainbow flag, some alphabet letters agencies are on a grab spree, targeting the major free software projects out there, so they have control over those, so they can have some control over us, consequentially
  [conspiracy theory end]

• YAGV (Yet another GNOME video.)

• I love the Gnome DE but I wish the whole Gnome foundation disappeared into the nothing.

• what is the best linux for new users? I have dabbled with linux, but might as well treat me as one step above noob

• Maybe they can find another shaman to replace him

• Welcome to 2024: We embrace and welcome diversity in all shapes and forms… except when it comes to opinions.

• __I'm not saying that's what this is__ but this sounds a hellova lot like what happened to Dr. Disrespect. It was all hush hush trying to skirt around the issue until BAM the issue pops up years later.

• Are the GNOME board new to the internet? They are handling this in a way that will maximize bad PR for both the board and project as a whole, while also maximizing hostility both within their community, and directed at their community. In the absence of information, destructive conspiracy theories will fill the void, and almost instantly become impossible to dispel.

• Beginning to see why System-76 are going their own way with Cosmic !

• Makes me wonder if Brodie going to make a video, about the Manjaro Gnome Edition maintainer being banned from all things gnome, for linking to an article talking about this.

• Thank God I've been moving away from using gnome , because this is ridiculous

• "Code of conduct violation" – scammy way to out someone without actual legitimate reason. If there is issue – they should name the actual, specific reason, otherwise it's fraud.

• fuk DEI program

• I'm gonna guess that Gnome received a donation from Israel and Sonny requested that the donation be returned due to the slaughter in Palestine. Gnome foundation reacted shocked at the blatant anti-Semitism that is not wanting Palestinian civilians to die for no good reason and voted to remove him. CoC complaint would probably have been something like Sonny having a Palestinian flag in one of his profiles.

  TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS COMPLETE SPECULATION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO FOUNDATION IN ANY RESEARCH. I'VE NEITHER LOOKED AT GNOME'S DONATIONS NOR AT SONNY'S POST HISTORY. FOR ALL I KNOW SONNY COULD ALSO JUST BE A PEDO

• the whole coc complaint part should never been added. it only makes this worse

• I absolutely love and daily drive GNOME, but as for the GNOME team itself, they do have that self-congratulatory "we did it, Reddit" kind of circlejerk vibe

• Its the church argument. People that pretend to be good just cus they go to church every sunday and you realize how corrupt they are and go against there own teachings. There worse then the people they shame

• 'Code of Conduct Committee' sounds like itd is just a cover tern to hide HR demons without calling them hr
