There's an absurd amount of drama there suddenly, the timeline roughly matching SA's drama, and like SA, trans bigotry is a part. They are having mass moderator resignations, firing employees for violating not yet published code if conduct, and reclassifying their creative commons licenses. Best I can tell it started in SEChristian, which I guess exists, and a mod being furious about not being able to call people the wrong pronoun. From there honestly I can't make heads or tails of it, whether the company is using it to gently caress the community, is it very vocal trolls, no idea.

Oh and a lot of redditors are non ironically blaming this all on jewish holidays. Which seems to just be their hot take.

A Bakers Cousin posted:Is sechristian just some esoteric scripting language? Best I can tell some pastor that may or may not have ever coded annoyed stack enough they let him open stack Christianity. The drama starts with him having a melt down over "they". Which I get. But now they're firing employees and a ton of mods are resigning in protest, and the pronoun stuff seems to be lost in the mix. The computer touching bit comes in as the company is changing their open source licensing now, I think using the drama as cover but its hard to tell. Creative commons peeps are upset, but given how unpleasant most of those people are, the company could be fine and its transphobes using it as cover. Otoh corporations are pretty evil too.

For me I'm not a computer scientist, I just need my drat data from olds computer stuff, I couldn't get it w/o stack. Seems like this is just transphobes though so everything will be ok. Lol at resigning a paid forum got over they.

gary oldmans diary posted:its rather important to know if the mod was actually furious about it or if they are being portrayed that way by someone who is themselves the They are very serious. Same person that managed to create stack Christianity in the first place. They non ironically argue having to use a pronoun is the company declaring support for the "other side". I'll see if I can find and post the like 6 page rant.

https://christianity.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6718/brothers-i-must-go I will edit in quotes later. But agreed, it seems like it should hsve been cut and dry, not needing mass protests, resignations, and firings.
