@dalias @aud Lmao yeah, just look at suckless. They're all pretty qualified to make software, but despite that the software they make is awful & unusable, because they're shitty, arrogant people who think they can't possibly be wrong about how they do things first try.

Yeah, see Telegram. It has been run by nazis since the beginning, it has always been buggy & anti-security, but that's not obvious to most people & they have good marketing. So lots of people use it & are vulnerable in so many ways because of it. People that realize that & stop using it become afraid to try alternatives because they're made to think they'll be even worse than Telegram.

@dalias @aud I did not know about that specifically, but I did know about Rust having terrible people in general

Nazis should be made too uncomfortable to say even a single word. I try to do this whenever I encounter them. They should be embarrassed for doing the horrible things they do & saying the horrible things they say.

@dalias @aud I should clarify, "Bad for authoritarian use". I did not word that well & I should have thought it through more. I think you're right; I would want to give the correct impression that nazis are here to scare software developers, & everyone else, away from supporting their communities, at least if the cost is that it supports nazis too. I would rather leave people with a usable but less than ideal program, tool, or supply if it means that they can get by with it but nazis can't. I would rather continue supporting the community some other way than to improve something in a way that benefits nazis without giving much to the community, such as pausing feature updates so nazis don't get more use out of it but continuing security updates so people don't get hacked by nazis.

However, any software developed by me will be bad, because I don't know what I'm doing yet lmao

@dalias @aud "Issue closed, tagged as 'wontfix' & 'wontimplement', this software will stay bad for authoritarian or evil purposes to spite those who have just made it known that they want to use it for evil, this software will not become more useful for doing evil."

@CStamp @futurebird I think when they say "pro life", they mean taking them.

@sarajw @Daojoan Blame the companies that trained people not to.
