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.

@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.
-
@dave @thisismissem @Gargron @renchap It's more like behaving like an ass. I agree, tech bros can be like that. But I'd very much like to avoid the terminology in the open source world as much as possible. There's still hope in this case.

@jcolomb why are you asking a female contributor to do the glue work here? Are you aware that many female contributors in floss are assigned glue work as a way to undervalue their work?

@mxjaygrant @jcolomb @renchap @wild1145 I don't believe that anyone was asking me to do anything here. I think that was directed at the mastodon team.
-
@thisismissem @MastodonEngineering this edit reads like @Gargron coerced you to retract your words somehow, which would be not surprising at all.
-
@thisismissem @MastodonEngineering Are you sure that you are alright? You seemed really upset in the original post and supported it with a lot of evidence. This sudden edit and turn-around is really worrying and just makes the Mastodon team look worse. You could have left the original post and made a comment to it to show how there was an issue at first but it got resolved. Now it just looks like you were forced to change the post.

@thisismissem @MastodonEngineering
As a somewhat baby developer myself, I found it hard to figure out how to get involved with the development process.
When making a PR to Mastodon a while back, I was really keen to have an IRC / Slack / @matrix channel that I could join to ask questions about the development plan before diving into writing code.
You think something like that would help?
I did get a response to my PR eventually but by that time the code needed to be updated, to work with the latest main branch, and I no longer had time to update it myself.
-
@Kiloku Nope, this is entirely me reflecting on the situation and wanting to shift to a more positive energy.
I can say something in anger, then take time to reflect, before then revising my statement to reflect how I like to work. Public call outs usually aren't my style if I can avoid them.
I was incredibly tired yesterday that contributed to my very emotional response, and had other contributing factors.
-
@justsoup @MastodonEngineering I wanted to edit the original post, since that's what had gone viral, and I think it's important for everyone who boosted it to see that I've reflected and adjusted my position.
This was a decision I made myself, and then told the Mastodon team about it.
-
@benx @MastodonEngineering @matrix that'd be the discord, that's where conversations can take place.
Yes, you do need to be a supporter of the project to be in the space, but it's $12 a year to participate there.
