@foxyoreos@mastodon.social @louis@emacs.ch It's messy and inclusive and multi-cultural and I can submit patches even if I'm a weird gay dog on the Internet.This is what I like about FOSS too, but you don't need to go around telling everyone "HEY BTW IM A GAY DOG" when you submit patches. That is what happens, and I can definitely understand the irritation this creates with maintainers. Especially if a maintainer rejects a patch because it is simply not good, and the submitter then goes on to their personal shoutbox to complain it must have been rejected for made-up personal reasons rather than just focussing on the code.

Like that patch stating the README contains white supremacy? Why is that needed? What are you (not you personally) trying to solve, and why do it with such a loaded statement? If you have code to improve #Ladybird, just submit it. If the devs don't feel like it improves the browser, they won't accept it. If you feel it is required for the browser to improve, fork it and show them. Heck, if you're running a good distro you can just apply your own patches to it when you install it, and always have the software be just the way you want it to be.
