Neovim maintainer justinmk is a cryptofascist

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid - welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret. Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no. If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high. > The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be) > > Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them. (Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

We dumped his Youtube playlists; he favorited Scott Adams, Mel Gibson, Peter Thiel, Eric Weinstein, Curtis Yarvin, and more. Justin is a coward who decided to delete the playlists.

All these technofascists are just the result of decades of silicon valley; I'm never shocked by this anymore.

Ah, and I liked Neovim too...All the good things seem to have at least a one or many crytofacists attached to them. I guess I'll just stick with Vim instead because I can't support a project with a cryptofacist.

So, no more breaking changes on each and every minor releases?

No more plugins that didn't get an update in the last week stopping to work?

What are you going to do with all that free time?

I never used Neovim for anything more than editing config files so...I didn't realize that it even broke. ROFL Now that I am learning to code, I might use Vim for more than just config edits.

I've been using neovim for many languages for years and I've never had a "breaking change". Use it just about everyday.

It's the cryptofascist that ultimately leaves a very sour taste in my mouth, having looked at that playlist. I get the major ick, it's honestly a shame because I liked Neovim. In the trash it goes for me. Otherwise, if that maintainer weren't present, I would happily use Neovim. As it is rock solid (didn't break to my knowledge). Thankfully open source is like a banquet that provides a feast of choice!
