The ego required for someone to come to this conclusion in the first place, and then double down on it when pressed, is genuinely astounding

He even tried to wash it off with "but there is a setting to disable it, just navigate 32 sub menus and click toxic mode" and never addressed the fact that his software would hide the shit behind a "technicall issue" excuse
Did anyone bother to check if that "toxic mode" even existed, or existed prior to the jackass getting caught?
It only worked for one of the lists, not the other
Tbh, doesn’t matter.
Dude clearly designed it to be included in his releases in a difficult to detect fashion. That’s “malicious developer” behavior.
In the context of OSS, you design to do , and you set things up to allow users and implementers to customize it as they see fit and necessary. Intentionally hiding opt-out mechanism - let alone shipping with shit you want or need to opt out of is very much a big tech bullshit tactic, and OSS devs who do that are objectively caustic OSS devs. Dude tried to foist his views and sensibilities onto everyone who used his shit in a very, very sneaky fashion
It’s correct and appropriate that he got blackballed from the community.
