Context is this issue at neovim [dot] github [dot] io: https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501
The neovim website has an impressions section, under which there's an impression by DHH:
"Full-screen Neovim looks cool as hell!” — DHH
Multiple people want that quote removed.
For those who don't know, DHH (creator of the Omarchy Linux distro) is seen as a problematic individual by many in the Linux & OSS community:
"threat" is starting off strong. ill make me some popcorn.
New update:
and final comment:
Ya all still on github? Pff
neovim will most likely survive with possibly a few forks that will die out and some people might move. I already am on helix, so no need to move yet.
Damn, I love the ratio on the first few posts
DHH is a moron who should be ostracized from FOSS, 100%. However this was an intentional brigading attempt which succeeded pretty well. Not sure why justinmk didn't just instantly ban the person making this issue and nuke it from the face of the earth. People saying that they are going to move from neovim probably weren't even using it in the first place and those that are, are probably bullshitting. This is like the 5th time this has happened in FOSS, I thought people would be wiser to just ignore people when they scream about this shit?
