> There's no excuse Actually there is, it's called "ownership" which in the real world is about "property", protected by law. Online properties are different and governed by different laws, but the same concept more or less applies. And FOSS in general is not "public domain"

I said there is no excuse for a mod who abuses their power in the online scala community to not know how to handle it. Those mods don't own the scala community. Your argument, while flippant and "funny" (being generous here), does not add anything to the conversation.

No dude, those mods own the Reddit channel, which is in fact not representative of the "Scala community". The "Scala community" you're talking about does not exist. Also, I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just stating a fact.

That's nice, but /r/Scala and the likes are purported to be welcoming and open, rather than fascistic and arbitrary which they turn out to be by trial. People are invited on false premise, build up the community with their posts and interactions, and then 1/4

they are thrown away when they fall off the party line. But those interactions and efford belong to them, rather than some childish person installed in a golden throne. There is simply no way to migrate this as data. Your argument, "just fork it" is so misguided in this case, 2/4

i don't even know where I would start, so I'm just not going to argue this out with you. It would take excessive time to do this which I just don't want to gift to you. I just can't take it as a serious suggestion, 3/4

and honestly find it shows a shocking lack of experience with running healthy communities. It is my belief you shouldn't be expressing this sort of idea as a viable suggestion. I'm going to ignore further suggestions and arguments to this theme. 4/4
