Beginning to believe that @Gargron doesn't want me contributing to #mastodon — he's now partially recreated three of my pull requests that I've worked on.

I feel really sorry for you @thisismissem.
What is even more sad is to see that @Gargron doesn't even feel bothered to come out and say sorry. This is really shameful!
Thanks for raising this up to the whole fediverse.
And @Gargron, being the Founder/Lead Developer doesn't make you a god. Show some respect for people's contributions to your project and show up to give some explanation for your actions, mate!

The first time it happened, he apologised, but then seemingly went and did the exact same thing only a few hours later, after I'd explicitly told him I was working on allowing moderators to forward reports in a conversation where I'd said what I was working on and how different open PRs interact & why I'd made certain choices based on other work I knew was happening.

@vaurora @thisismissem Mastodon's contribution docs have been revamped this year: https://github.com/mastodon/.github/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md I have no expertise on this topic but I'm reading more guidance than policies there - no judgment intended.
I believe suggestions for improving this document would ideally land on @andypiper's desk. -
Yeah, those are the guidelines I follow when contributing, or at least try to.
-
@thisismissem Has @Gargron actually bothered responding to this? Because that feels like the most egregious part - him just carrying on and ignoring criticism, despite people talking openly about this toxic habit for several years now.

@stinerman @thisismissem @Gargron Deeply embedded misogyny is tough to extinguish. Someone other than Emelia needs to weigh in & see what’s what.

@awfulwoman not publicly, and I know the team is discussing this situation.

@wendinoakland @stinerman @Gargron I don't think this is misogyny, and I don't believe Eugen is participating in that sort of problematic behavior. Overall my interactions have generally been okay, but with room for improvement.

@thisismissem Ugh, I do not like this.

@renchap @wild1145 @thisismissem
Shouldn't you think about stopping any coding activity and doing only PR reviews and strategy/prioritisation ? And if you do not want to do that, I would think finding people who want to do it should be the priority.
Community work is tough, but if it is not done, the community will fade away.One way may also be to structure the review process so you can outsource the review process to (part of) the community ?

@thisismissem I'm thankful for your work Emelia, I'm also excited for somebody to fork Mastodon.

@rolle @thisismissem @Gargron @renchap it makes a lot more sense when you realize Website Boy wants to be the next Jack Dorsey, but it's just never going to actually happen.
-
@thisismissem @Gargron @elduvelle really sorry to hear that Emelia!
-
@dave @thisismissem @Gargron @renchap Sorry, but didn't quite catch what is your argument...? A singular maintainer individual of an open source software does not make you a corporate tech bro.
-
@thisismissem @MastodonEngineering I'm glad that you're working on this and are feeling better now. Your work is very valuable!
-
@rolle @thisismissem @Gargron @renchap no, but acting like a techbro by stealing women's work (and ignoring BIPOC entirely) does.

-
@thisismissem I didn't see it and I'm not close to anyone involved, but I respect your effort to improve the situation. Now more than ever, we must collaborate rather than ostracize.

@necedema you can see it by viewing the post edit history if you want.
