I was on Xitter to read an update about LGRs situation, when I got one of those “suggested tweets” about Godot from some random account. I clicked on it because I thought it was a totally different situation like Godot going closed source or something.
Nope. It was an entire thread on a bunch of racist transphobes being pissy about an LGBTQ post and how Godot was “Woke” now and “Why are they being political now”. “Go woke, go broke” was also mentioned unironically quite a bit and how people were going to leave in droves for Unity. Nice to see the chant was (once again) proven wrong.
It was a disgusting echo chamber, I had to wash my hands after that.
That is exactly the issue with algorithm-driven social media : they are the majority in their reality. It is distorted because of the algorithm, but nevertheless it is the world they are living in.
Seriously, has this really happened to any company?
It’s easy to claim Bud Light, but they were doing fine until they backed away from supporting LGBT, then they had trouble (from both sides), so it’s just as easy to claim “Go fasc, no cash”.
He lives in Asheville, NC one of the places wrecked by flooding from Helene. Last update was his house has been significantly damaged to the point where it’s basically unhabitable, but he is safe with family.

These idiots seriously think they’re in the majority viewpoint. No exposure to reality will dissuade them of this belief.

Wait, what’s going on with LGR?
I don’t have xitter account so I can’t see what’s going on

Damn I’m happy to hear they’re alright and I hope he can get that straightened out quick
Tree fell on his house.
