Will chill from Twitter/X until after the US elections. Almost all the hate Godot got over the weekend was pretty much people who had not a clue what a game engine is, what Godot is, or what a FOSS / community made project is. Most of the ones who did were the usual haters.
Checking profile of haters, majority pro-trump people with weird religious symbology, or people with avatars/obsession for anime little girls.
Sometimes I feel I am too innocent for this world.
@reduz I have a feeling that this will not go away with US elections. This is new "social media" reality, where there is nothing social about it, and not much media either.
@aras Surprisingly, this is an entirely Twitter thing. There was no any real spilling anywhere else and the rest of the communities continued as if nothing.
Anyone I know not on Twitter has not even heard of it.
It seems most of the games/tech industry people moved here, and a lot of gamedevs moved to bluesky.
@reduz yeah I dunno, just a while ago (after Godot Meta blog post) Akien was lamenting that on mastodon the news got the most "hate", and good reactions elsewhere. Every corner has their own weirdness for what becomes pointless drama. Twitter might have most "anti-woke", Masto might have most "anything commercial is evil", etc.
@aras @zeux @reduz tbh I would not be at all surprised if the main reason the twitter stuff got so bad is just that it got picked up by the king gamergate grifter mark kern. The network effects are kind of random until they hit one of the asshole celebs and then at that point you have no choice but to lock everything down. Mastodon is more like the worst of programming reddit or hn or phoronix than that truly performative grifter driven outrage farming :')
