What I learned from this: from now on I will call my birth place my spawn point.
@DrakGamestein
Folks on Twitter are allergic to 2 things: 1. Nuance 2. Grass.
@AHeinermann
From what I understood, the Twitter drama happened first, then people went digging after the fact to find that mod stuff.
@mirabilis
Stop being so well-informed.

Aight buddy hold your horses There was a community manager on twitter that stated a slightly controversial topic, and then a guy told them simply to focus on the engine, and he got the hammer ban, and he was a Platinum supporter for godot too, and then turns out the manager banned alot of other people that also had the aame issue

1:47 "AoE friendly fire." Finally, someone explained this in terms I can understand.
@Xambaloris
"This is a nothing burger" If I heard it right. I loved it so much that'll add it to my vocabulary, thank you.
@Jeuxetgobelins
Morale of that story: twitter is a silly place.
@ArcadiaCv
I hope everyone keeps in mind that while Thor often times speaks with a lot of confidence, at the end of the day he's just a person and can get the facts wrong just like anyone else. I think it's highly unlikely he's purposely trying to gaslight us on what happened.
@itsnotborker456
Correct me if I'm wrong, but godot Cafe used to be the official discord that was linked on the website until they made the current one(and was still linked). Sounds clearly like an endorsement to me.
@ttrev007
This was not an accurate summary of what happened. it started on twitter where their was a post that some people thought was political (it literally had the word woke in it, but was not the end of the world), when people asked them to reframe from being political they went on a banning spree. Banning anyone who said anything about it, even if they were polite about their request. then on the unofficial discord the Xanax (don't know the spelling) went on a very hateful rant (his rant was pretty bad). the unofficial discord was the official one until very recently and has very strong connection to Gadot including common moderators and is promoted on their website. the Gadot group then apologized about the banning spree and asked people to contact them to be unbanned. But, in the request they gave out to be unbanned they asked for emails and used the emails to ban people from the repository. I don't think the initiating tweet would have been a big deal if they had not gone on a banning spree and then doubled down with the repository bans. They have also not done anything to distance themselves from Xanax (not sure of the spelling), but i think that was a secondary issue to the banning.
@EmberTheShark
The head people behind godot 100% stood behind this mod. Ergo it does not matter what discord this mod operates in.
@coffeehousephilosopher7936
"Majority of angry Twitter don't even make stuff, who gives a shit." That's such a fire quote, especially since this would save people so much time and energy.
@alphacode5
this started as a silly twitter moment but ended up with people actually being unable to access the official godot repo because of a power trip of a single person and that's a little more messed up. don't mess with the openness of open source
@phitsf5475
This is probably why employment contracts tend to have some sort of clause saying you can't talk shit online
@NG.Cha0s
I miss live and let live, treat others as you want to be treated, to each their own. Basically just everything I was taught growing up in the 90s.
@araqweyr
Sorry Thor, but I have to disagree with you about what has happened. I saw events unfold in real time. Godot Official account made a stupid tweet mocking another stupid tweet (saying that all games made with game engines are woke) which had little to none likes (so nobody even agreed with it). A lot of people said either "no politics" (including identity politics) or "just focus on the engine". Or both. Including one Titanium level backer. He and many-many others were banned. Which caused outrage, which caused more bans, etc. CM and xananax's messages just fueled the fire, but they were not the source. Godot founder wasn't at fault either. He played neutrality back then, but after dust has settled he said he supports CM on his Mastodon account. People were also banned for posting quotes of him btw. And the last piece - people also didn't like their complete non apology. Godot foundation framed the events as if was targeted harassment attack by bigots and didn't take any accountability for actions of their CM Edit: I forgot Starkium is a Titanium level backer. Not platinum. Fixed it. Edit 2: No Thor, this is not a conspiracy. I'm not blind nor illiterate. I know what I saw
@silverlight6074
And then Redot happened, and their discord definitely wasn't brigaded by people angry over the idea of "hey we just want to make the game engine better"
@glydstudios5632
This was kinda half true. They advertised that discord on their website and the same people who said gross shit were also mods on the official subreddit.
