  • Mods are listed in the sidebar.

    Per the modlog, there were multiple instances of posts they felt ignored the rules. So it doesnt appear as though it was an overreaction, so much as “well, repeat offender, let’s move on then”.

    Messaging the mods would make much more sense than making a ptb post about something where it appears you were a repeat offender within a short period of time.

    Edited to add: it also appears you’ve broken the same rule about 10 times in 2 months and you got a temp ban.

    This doesn’t come across as ptb even slightly. YDI.



  • point is it wasn’t always a dog whistle

    It was used to describe indigenous people of Africa and America to promote eugenics (at least to the 19th century).

    It was popularized by the Nazis as a specifically far right term, to describe anything that didnt meet Nazi ideals.

    When its used to discuss culture (art, religion, etc) or traits of a person (sexuality, race, gender expression, etc), its a really blatant dog whistle.

    Like everything, context matters, but it absolutely has been one for a very long time.










  • Actually, yeah, every year for them its released the summer of the following year.

    Each subproject submits their own detailed overview of the prior year, including any conference/working group events, sprints, pictures from the same, mentorship progeams, major changes in individual projects, as well as detailed financials for where money came from, where the money went.

    It generally will take a few months to compile that (especially when you’re talking an open source foundation with a multitude of groups under the umbrella), and then time to organize it all.

    Even companies will take several months after the conclusion of their year to provide similar details in an annual review.

    Its a bit late this year being in August, usually its June, but late spring to summer is when it gets released every year.

    Edited to add: I think it even came out in October or November some years back. 2018? 2019? Something like that.
