There is a manifesto that is literally titled the “The Post-Meritocracy Manifesto” which a lot of people unironically agreed with, at least when those were hot topics a few years ago.

So any attempt at pretending that there isn’t an anti-meritocracy angle to this would be disingenuous to say the least.

That same person behind the manifesto is a primary figure in introducing CoC’s to software projects btw.

Fun Fact: Rust didn’t always support leading pipes (which are optional), not even at v1.

Unless I’m hallucinating memories, the support was added with influence from Haskell.

The instance in question was practically dead before this stupid thread gave it attention.

I’ll bet you money that concerned user didn’t exist 3 day ago.

Instance admins should learn how to be smarter, and not give manipulators small wins, alas, they will come back for bigger ones.

Neither the person who contacted you was a real user of that instance, nor their “concern” was legitimate.

Congrats. You got successfully manipulated. And opened yourself up for further future manipulations.
