But this is not Gnome officially speaking. It's someone associated with
Gnome whining because Gnome got rid of someone that he apparently respected.
They guy who is attacking the Gnome Foundation is the one who wrote "Fuck
Nazis, GNOME is Antifa."

      You lost me when you said “Fuck Nazis. GNOME is Antifa”. Tell me in what
      way Antifa is any different to the Nazi Brownshirts in 1930’s Germany? I
      think it would be more accurate to say:

I don't what the issue is here, or who Sonny is or why he was (apparently)
banned from Gnome, but this blogger (who, notice, is opposing Gnome here) is
the one who called Gnome Antifa. So, again, Lunduke is click baiting and
taking a quote out of context. This guy proves again that truth is not that
important to him.

Like I said, it's not the first time that GNOME has been associated with
leftist politics. This is just the latest edition. At this point, I'm
glad to stay away from them. Besides, I actually prefer KDE.

As of yet, I haven't yet of KDE having any kind of brain-dead Marxists

I don't doubt that Gnome can be linked to leftist politics, but that's a far
cry from insinuating "Gnome is Antifa" as if the Gnome Foundation is
officially endorsing these violent Antifa morons.

This appears to be just more Lunduke lying by omission in order to create
click bait. I don't like dishonest bullshit like this.

Well, it's not really clickbait in my case since I already have a
lifetime subscription to his content. At this point, he doesn't make any
more money from me. Either way, I'm happy that he's pointing out what's
going on in the circles we don't automatically venture to. Without him
pointing it out, I wouldn't have any idea how leftist Mozilla or GNOME
are, and I wouldn't be aware of how much spying Firefox does by default.
I don't see any real reason to dislike him.

 
Reporting that there's a dispute on a Gnome blog about a pro-Antifa dink
would be one thing. Insinuating that "Gnome is Antifa" is another. I don't
like inaccurate headlines (I call them click bait.)

Understood. I just don't believe that he's the only clown developing for
GNOME. GNOME itself has/had a 5-year Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
plan which left them broke, they believe in censoring anyone who posts a
Lunduke link, it fired a board member without letting anyone know for
two months, and they had a shaman with no knowledge of software
whatsoever as their hear for nine months. That doesn't strike me as a
software group which shares my values.

Neither does Microsoft or Apple. I know Woke BS has invaded a lot of tech
outfits, but it's still not the same as saying the Gnome Foundation endorses
the Antifa thugs. That's my point. Lunduke can rail on about Gnome's
Wokeness all he wants, but to try to somehow associate the Gnome Foundation
with Antifa is dishonest click bait. (Unless he has more than this blog to
go by.)
