The Rust moderation team quit because the devs wouldn't obey them. Here's who replaced them.

... Why must the devs obey the mods?
Anybody?
Why must a programming language even have a moderation team?
Because a walking disease had the brilliant idea of creating one of the biggest tricks to infect open source projects with intersectionality/social justice, the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.
Only way you're going to get anything approaching gender parity in "tech".
It's still just a bunch of guys. Just some of them now pretend they are women. As someone who hung out on IRC in the days, I guess nothing's changed.
There's a saying about the 90s internet: Men were men, women were men, and children were law enforcement. The 2nd part continues to be true in tech. We all found out the hard way that's it's definitely true on Faggit.
"Show tits or gtfo."
"Oh wait oh god.. Noooo-"
Jobs for the xrls.
And from whence did they come? Seems to me if the devs can ignore them, their position is largely bullshit. Is someone appointing these clowns or should I be in fear of someone establishing a "voidposter moderation team"?
I'm gonna say the n-word, jannie!
In some far off theory there is the idea that the mod team has a much more direct understanding of the playerbase and how certain changes effect them, and the game itself, so the devs should take their concerns into account.
But that's only in deep theory and I really can't think of a single instance of that being reality.
This isn't about RUST the game.
It's about a programming language.

Ah well you got me there. Thanks for the correction.

This is a followup to this post.
The first member listed has a trans flag background. The second uses "they/them" pronouns according to "their" GitHub page.
Not knowing anything about Rust, was the original team even any better? I make an automatic assumption that any "moderation" team is always stocked with nothing but mentally ill leftists.
Present company excluded, Dom.
Here's an archive of the page with the original team. They all seem to be relatively normal compared to this.
The drama has always been because the mod team was woke garbage.
Dom is still a hot pocket eating faggot, don't let him fool you.
The dude admits to running a safe space for troons. I'm convinced that things here are only as good as they are because Dom devotes most of his energy to the Sisyphean task of keeping Spez and his pedophile friends off the Faggit sub's back. When that sub gets nuked this place will turn into (even more of) a censorious shithole. You can take the janny out of Faggit but you can't take Faggit out of the janny.
Perhaps you haven't taken a look at the "rules" over to the right. This sub is reddit-leftist central.
So Rust is dead then. It's only a matter of time before they start crippling the compiler so it can search for twansphobic language in your code and installing rootkits on your computer in order to better hunt down heretics. Where there are Twitter troons, there is clinical narcissism and borderline personality disorder.
I never got into Rust solely because the user base was so weird and cultish it put me off it. Learning that it was infested by troons just made me feel vindicated. And now, I am double vindicated. That doesn't happen too often.
Oh well. I've heard good things about Go lately.
Uh ?

Go is Google and thus Go is cucked. Just use ISO Standard C or C++. Can't go wrong with a language without a "community" behind it. Communities are ripe with woke infestation.
Or its scripting derivative, PHP.
I'm not too worried about the fact that Google owns Go. They may be converged, but they're still a company that has a multitude of legal reasons not to fuck with their consumer base. They're not going to suddenly update Go with code that wipes your hard drive if you're from Russia.
Rust, on the other hand, is just a bunch of random devs. Many of them are terminally online Twitter trannies who own nothing, so they don't care about being sued after they introduce malicious code. That's what I'm worried about.
C++ is a complete mess that gets extremely confusing in a hurry and C is where joy goes to die. I've used both extensively and do not enjoy either. I luckily don't have to do low-level programming too often, but when I do I'd like to at least suffer slightly less than programmers did 40 years ago.
gatekeep everything
Do you think the devs are more likely to obey this moderation team?
I'm sure the guys they're replacing were just as pozzed in the first place.
Programming languages don't need mod teams unless they're overrun with communists.
Even then the only thing the mod team should be doing is kicking out the communists.
The whole reason the mod team exists is to enforce communistic thought.
because nerds are really bad at telling trannies to fuck off.
That's the story of the post 2010 internet unfortunately. Trannies infest and destroy everything that doesn't actively gatekeep them.
