Context: Sonny Piers was banned a while ago with nothing much being said to the community.

Turns out, Sonny knew that the GNOME foundation wasn't paying it's contractors, and he threatened to go public with the info, accidentally lost his temper while talking about it, somebody snitched, and the CoCC got him banned.

They also tried to make him sign a gag order, and threatened to write a defamatory article against Sonny.

All of this over a shitty Linux Desktop environment.

can't beat the CoCC

Usecase for paying contractors?

>somebody snitched
Apparently the guy who "snitched" was also part of the CoCC himself (so basically he got butthurt and abused his power). Australiaman talks about it in his latest video.

You know you fucked up hard when even redditors are universally shitting on you.
tldr: gnome mod banned the topic on r/gnome and users on r/linux (incluing one mod) are shitting on xim

Low-moral browns strike again. Probably embezzle the money to pay gambling debts to the cartel.

Is there really no discussion about this outside of https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1u1gj4s/sonny_piers_elaborates_on_his_ban_from_the_gnome/ ?
The other subreddits don’t have a thread.
The other linux forums don’t have a thread.

It’s really creepy.

>The other subreddits don’t have a thread.
See >>109020624
r/gnome's mods deleted every thread about it because the topic was becoming "too heated" and they were "too exhausted" to moderate the subreddit.
>>
>>109020763
>"too exhausted" to moderate the subreddit
Isn't that why we pay the jannies those big bucks??
>>
>>109020757
I think the scandal is pretty bad. Usually they let the threads be, and just have a bunch of shills making retarded comments defending gnome/red hat/wayland/etc. with a lot of upvotes.

They didn’t even allow a discussion on HN for this one.
>>
>>109020624
Wow, as they say: Even a broken clock...

>too exhausted to mod
So why the fuck are they mods in the first place, then?
>>
has gnome done anything positive the last 2 decades?
>>
>>109020897
No.
Wait, lemme see: Did gnome-disks get any updates in that period? If so, then yeah: gnome-disks.

Don't worry, the professional shaman rebalanced their chakras. That's a bigger payout than any material offering.

This is depressing. I generally prefer the softwares gnome people produced, compared to the ones by KDE.
>>
>>109021652
KDE e.V doesn't have these issues though. Interesting that.

It's no wonder Valve decided to work with them instead of GNOME.
>>
>>109020897
Pretty much the only worthwhile contribution is the stuff they occasionally do for Network manager and other projects that are important for desktops besides GNOME.

The GNOME CoC is fine with someone raping children, but isn't fine with someone saying that there are unpaid bills.

Now about that ballroom…

>>109020819
That's fucked up. The gnome people have the power to remove or stop threads on hackernews too? How?

>>109021889
HN is literally run by a venture capital firm. Try to shittalk RedHat there and see how it goes.
Additionally, actually looking into finances is very uncomfortable if your mode of operation is "we don't need to make a profit".

Two independent reasons why they would want to shut this down.
>>
>>109021725
I'm sorry anon but are being MAPphobic right now? It's pride month you bigot!
Plus what you're calling """rape""" is actually a sexual discovery ritual.
