Wow. I had no idea this was going on. Well...
If the author of the code, who was distributing it for free, wants to pick and choose who gets to run said code, then one is welcome to a refund of $0.00, I guess.
...y'know, I feel like, hypothetically, if I made a list of 'bad people' and used it to control access to software made available to the general public, that would put me in a fair bit of hot water. If it doesn't count as targeted harassment, it still creates a literal set of targeting data that anyone else can pick up and harass.
But one way or another, i don't think it's very constructive for me to to continue to exist within the vicinity of someone who hates me. even vicariously through their code. just kinda stings is all...
this scope of possible damage hadn't occurred to me until now...
It made me wonder if he didn't get the list from the largest instance he's a user on? I'm telling you, they do some curating of the content over there. It happened to me and that's why I'm SJW.
It's not who gets to run it, but who they get to interact with that's the bad part, without even telling them makes it worse.
Using software made by people who hate you and are willing to put that hate into their code is a bad idea for sure. If their software seeks to isolate you from communities and people that believe you have a right to exist, what's left?
