a community that allows squatting to happen and does nothing to resolve the issue is going to be plagued with chaos in the future. it opens an attack vector for supply chain attacks and altogether breeds distrust in the platform entirely.
on the flip-side, a developer that squats on common library names in an attempt to garner support to resolve an issue and is ignored tells me two things;
this is normal enough that the community doesn’t feel the need to address the toxic behavior
the issue of squatting isn’t perceived as a high enough threat and they will take no action
in my case both of those observations tell me the community at large isn’t mature enough or forward thinking enough to allow me to use it as a solution. it also forces me to assume that the matter of toxic behavior will only continue to fester unchecked within the community.
just because they are accepting of people based on gender identity doesn’t mean toxicity cannot exist.
terfs are a great example of that.
Sure, but I’m saying in general. I don’t know why you’re so convinced of your position from the one experience you had.
