Drew DeVault has officially lost it

I've read the blog post behind this so called "protest" and the reasoning is absolutely astonishing to me. To quote this piece of "mastery", a "masterpiece" if you'd like: "After Dorsey sold Twitter to Elon Musk, selling the platform out to the far right for a crisp billion-with-a-“B” dollar payout, the FOSS community shouldered the burden – both with our labor and our wallets – of a massive exodus onto our volunteer-operated servers, especially from victims fleeing the hate speech and harassment left in the wake of the sale."

First of all, what does it matter who and for how much someone sold a company for? What does this have to do with FOSS?

From what I can clearly remember, the OSS social media community was not only willing to "shoulder" this "burden" but was absolutely ecstatic that they can get a gazillion new people onto their platforms, the same sentiment was felt across different OSS oriented media outlets which celebrated the exodus of people from "evil" corporate social media to free and open media.

Under Dorsey, Twitter had some major contribution to open source, Bootstrap, Apache projects, OpenJDK contributions (I've met Twitter enginners in Java FOSDEM rooms..).. this is just from the top of my head. To paint him as some absolute villain of open source seems kinda weird and I'm not even fan of the guy.

Overall, I do not appreciate the negative tone of this article, it's a major event, thousands of people, yes you might get sick like on any other conference, if you don't like that fact simply don't attend.
