The GNOME devs sound like total asses. I went to the ticket linked in that post and then checked the Tweets that the GNOME guys didn't like. I actually thought for a second that I ended up linked to the wrong Tweets because nothing looks wrong with them!

This is not the time for the GNOME devs to be so hostile. People have been upset with the direction of GNOME since version 3. They're basically ensuring that people will jump ship now.

Yep. Significant mismatch between how important they are to the ecosystem and how self-centered they are.

They have every right to set and focus on their own goals, of course. And the community has every right to move on.

It feels like they want to turn this open source product into a professional corporate solution, where there's no place for user choice.

The problem with those tweets that you've liked is that they're misinformation. They may sound reasonable on the surface but what they're saying is factually wrong. Make sure to fact check any statements you read on Twitter, going with the most plausible-feeling explanation is a form of bias.

Now I don't think that excuses other bad behavior from GNOME developers. If they're saying rude and demeaning things while representing themselves as a GNOME developer then those should be reported to the code of conduct committee, even if they're on Twitter.
