Should jonringer get his commit bit back?
discourse.nixos.org
Hi, I haven’t read this thread and I don’t really care to read all of it. I’ve always intended to get back into the Nix community after the issues with community management are sorted to my satisfaction. If jonrigner gets his commit bit back, I’m gonna be gone for good. Create whatever future you want to live in. Be well, Xe EDIT: Looks like his commit bit got back anyways. I hope you all enjoy the future you have created. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

    Post title is misleading as he’s not really the one causing the drama.

    it’s simply false to say he’s continuing to cause the drama and problems when all he did was ask to get his commit access back …

    No. When he realised he wasn’t immediately given access as he was asking for it he also made a post on the unmoderated reddit board with “Drama” in the title.

    He inflamed drama during what should have been an otherwise fairly dull bureaucratic process, tried to hide his earlier posts, was called out on it with a timeline, then eventually half-admitted to creating drama.

    … and tell his haters they’re being assholes

    Engaging with haters is creating more drama, which makes more disruption, which makes more haters, repeat ad infinitum.

    He just needed to ignore them and let the mods do their job, not make their job harder than it already was.

    The drama comes from people who just hate the guy and are screaming about letting him back. His response to that was then very cordial and just calling out them for being to aggressive.

    It definitely appeared cordial on his part, but the timelines of events comment showed he was cherrypicking and trying to change things after the fact. He was being deceitful and manipulative which of course made everything worse than it needed to be. He drove away more of the community.

    All he needed to do was not be disruptive himself, let the mods sort out the initial haters, and let the boring topic of a commit bit be addressed.
