> you say suck it fascist in response to DEI being removed,

Re-read the thread. They made a joke about acronyms.

initial comment - 'gitlab no more dei'

secondary comment - 'suck it fascist'

third comment - 'fascism and communism would both get rid of dei'

whereabouts did the room get misread?

Alas, it’s pretty obvious to everyone else that you tried to pick a fight by shoehorning your dubious, pre-formed argument into an inappropriate place. Better luck next time.

i was indeed trying to pick a fight, with gitlab, because i think its pathetic to pivot and abandon values for money, regardless as to those values, and regardless as to whether the abandonment is done by a human or a corporation. your comment was a convenient conversational entry point, as you made the scenario political, offering a chance for me to generalize to my point. thats the way i saw it anyway. did something in particular make you feel like a target?
