Oh yeah, we wouldn't be having this convo on some place that blocked me for my gender/sexuality. Anytime a community like that graces my feed I block it shortly after.

About FOSS yeah, I just host my stuff on codeberg (joined cuz of the anti ai stuff) and make my own shit for anyone to see, did a couple commits for some other projects but I'm very into doing my own thing and I'm basically self-taught so my code ain't the best.

About working on something you hate? Yeah, I get it. I work also as a programmer and I hated every moment I had to dig up someone else's C/AL code (proprietary Microsoft ERP coding language).

    See, the thing is that I don't care about stuff like that. The problem is management.

    rant incoming you can skipI need good managers to function well and it's been two years now that management is shit. I'm at a point where just the thought of opening the IDE makes me sick. I know I just have to suck it for a little bit then this project will be over and hopefully I will be put in something better. I don't really want to look for another job. Sorry for the rant

    Oh so we are in a similar position. I've created lots of tools that were useful to me (and I think only to me in the world) and released them as foss, but I've never contributed code to a big foss project. I want to but I just never did.

    Don't get me wrong, they have their own reasons for doing that on the subreddit, and I think they have a right to do it -- for example an AA meeting is not the place for a non-alcoholic. But at the same time, being too close of a group leads to radicalisation, and that group is radical. Some things may start as a joke, but then some people start believing them... it can be dangerous...
