If Forking is Hostile, The Act of Telling someone to #ForkOff is equally hostile.

So. You know.

Gargamel asked us to #ForkOff, and here we are.

And if anyone needs receipts:

We: Look these concerns about harassment!

You: That's not so important, no one gets harassed here

We: look here, and here. This stuff.

You: Nah that doesn't happen to us, can't reproduce.

We: We really don't like that this happens, and we've put a lot of emotional labour into this project, we want to make it work!

You: Did you add code? No? Fork it! Bye Felicia!

We: OK! We're Forking it!

You: OMG FORKING IS SO FUCKING HOSTILE HOW DARE YOU!?

:blobjoy:

Me two days ago: I don't want to suggest a fork... it'd be too antagonistic if I did it.

Me today: #ForkOff

No one can #ForkOff alone, but together we may be able to.

I present to you: The Great Fork-Off Survey of 2018

#MastoDev #Mastodon #JustForkIt

But what if you're not alone?

What if so many of us have been told to #ForkOff that we together possess enough knowledge and experiences that we can go forward with this project?

What if we survey the battlefield (because that's what it felt like today) and see what we can contribute, together?

When someone tells you to "Just fork it" it is always a power play from their side. They are saying it because they know that you alone can't do anything about it.

They know you can't fork it if you're not a coder.

They know you can't fork it if you only understand front-end stuff.

They know you can't fork it alone.

Telling someone you know can't fork it to do it is equivalent to Fuck off, or #ForkOff as some other people said it.

Me today:

THIS IS NOT FINE

#ThisIsFine

And putting my money where my mouth is.

@GinnyMcQueen

Yeah, apologizing to @GinnyMcQueen is definitely a first step.

Reparations are required (Reparations: the act of making amends, offering expiation, or giving satisfaction for a wrong or injury.)

Would you #ForkOff?

Yes: Boost

No: Fuck off

@woozle @zeezeemoomoo

Selfcare: Asking friendos if htey wanna watch a movie.

Friendcare: Them deciding what movie to watch and setting up the room because you're entirely out of spoons from today.

Thank you @Mouse and @jh4c

"this is why we can't be nice things" type of commentary when people have brought up their concerns, from a vulnerable position, and you are about to give into it is not helpful at all.

Jeebus...

Okay... Fuck.

"Like, just say "I want my platform, because it's clearly mine, and not the userbase's, to work this way because it's the only way it'd make sense to me, and I do not care which users it harms, alienates or disenfranchises, no matter how hard some of them have been working to popularize said platform even while I've been acting in a hostile manner toward them using it.""

Can someone add 🖕 on both hands of this one :blobreach:

"Elon wrote me a single sentence that, while insulting, wasn’t even really all that bad. And then he moved on and probably didn’t think about me again. I’m betting he doesn’t even remember tweeting at me. But in responding to me, Musk has subjected me to days and days of tweets, emails, direct messages, and Instagram tags."
