I don’t know how I have been copied into this thread. I have not posted anything on this topic, because I don’t understand what it’s all about. It looks as though Stephane Ducasse wrote to thank me for renewing my membership, and somehow my name was repeated in later posts. Please, Esteban, why are you sending me threats? As I said, I have not posted anything in this thread.

Far left is to consider that we need a revolution to overthrown the ruling class (the the bourgeoisie) in order to socialize de means of production. Not to consider that every human being has the right to consider themselves as they please and makes them feel more in sync with the world, without being abused by people that believes they have the right to judge others choices. But go ahead, "leftist"... what else you consider is a perfectly acceptable opinion ? (Is just a rhetorical question, I really do not want to hear your opinions). No wonder why you feel better at twitter than any other option... but hey, we are not forbidding you to go deep in that shithole and express your ''leftist' self there along with all the other leftists that hang along with Elon Musk and other fascists (or alike) like him. Esteban ps: another "perfectly reasonable" opinion like that and you will get a ban from our lists, not just from bluesky. But don't worry, you will be able to go and protest to twitter.

Where perfectly acceptable political opinions ("trans women are not real women") are suppressed under the guise of "breaks community standards".I've noticed more and more programming groups have gone so far left because of echo chamber feedback loops. They, as a result, don't see how crazy they make themselves look to normal people. People who disagree with your political opinions are not "nazis". You are being unfair to the 50% of people who have a differing opinion.

We will do what we want and do not care about people that do not contribute and not in a positive mindset. Let us continue to make Pharo great and fun because it is a great and fun system. I will continue to focus on PRs that improve Pharo.

He did the same thing (with others) a few years ago for the code convenant stuff. He is doing this right now again. The vocabulary is all there: "echo-chamber", "wrong political opinion", "tolerant", "leftist"... just all the nazi words they try to impose in community discussions. Once we accept, we lose. Nice and diplomatic discussions do not work with nazis. So why are we tolerating this? He is not even contributing to Pharo. Between this and the guy who harasses my students at ESUG, I wonder what fucking bullshit community we have become. I have nothing to do anymore in this community. Steven.

It works either way. The way you experience it is not so much an artefact of the social media platform but the mindset you have.
