These people should spent some time AWAY from computer TBH.

As far as I'm concerned I never ever want to visit at FOSDEM. I hate when people are not absolutely sound in their moral and ethical values.

That said my "protest" does not really count as I dislike tech conferences anyhow ;-) Just want to emphasize to ultimate stupidity in this whole matter.

Anyone involved with this ridiculous protest: you should be ashamed of yourself.

@jarkko Note that you are reacting to an obsolete article that wasn't updated since the talk has been pulled.

@Aissen It is not obsolete in the sense that it highlights to ridiculous history what made the pulling out happen.

@Aissen And it is neither obsolete for me personally as I found out about this wrong doing last night when someone was making noise about it. If this was for the right cause, then it can be looked also back and does not need to be swiped under the carpet.

You can disagree with for sure but if people make public something they ought also stand the feedback even if it comes total 24h later of the cancellation :-)

I've never cared about Jack Dorsey, Twitter or any of that, and Bluesky if definitely the next social media account that I delete, if I delete any, but still for the grace of God, this is silly, stupid and hypocritical.

@jarkko On the contrary if they want to protest, I'd say let them. I did not plan to join the protest. They don't see it as hypocritical, because they see everything globally, from their own positions, to the political impact of what we do.

@Aissen I don't campaign against anyone going to FOSDEM, I did not try deny their right protest.

Still, I see this behavior fake as hell, and despite that we can happily live ever after in this planet, and it is not even seeing these people "fake as hell" ;-)

And if one does a public social media campaign with multiple people putting message out that "Jack Dorsey sucks, let's boycott" and I alone say opposite is that like crime against "open source community".

It's politics...
