people need to stop just accepting assholes, especially transphobic ones, in their open source projects, just because they “do good work”. that work will stop being good eventually, i’ve seen it before
a little while ago, a project by the name of “polyMC” which is an open source minecraft launcher, got coup’d by the one transphobic dev and he managed to totally sieze power over the discord server and the github repository, and kick all the other devs off. the other devs all had to fork polyMC and rebase their efforts on whats now “prism launcher” which is of course very rainbow themed and whats generally recommended by minecraft players

yes, that is exactly what I’m talking about
I was led to believe all transgirls are programmers but we have yet to collectively out-code the transphobe.
you can just kick him out and start doing a recruitment drive for someone less shitty
It didn’t work very well for Hexbear when it was forked the first time. The dev team evaporated within a year or two.
than you should start recruiting until you can afford to kick them out, as a significant priority
