I wanna add as a sidenote that the social media person responsible for this mess announced their political plans immediately when hired.
This could've obviously flown under the radar for the CEO or he simply didn't care..
But maybe there's also not a lot the CEO can do to fire a employee that easily? In a foundation there's a board.. and maybe the board needs to agree first when firing someone? Now consider the board being pro lgbtq.. that would explain why they hire someone with no experience and let that person do whatever on the social media account xD
It's not about doing a good job, it's about sending a message. super bleh.. :c
This is the Godot announcement for the hire:
The Godot Foundation is onboarding a person in charge of Community & Communications, and there is a feedback form for you to fill out.
godotengine.org
Which talks about welcoming more diverse voices into the community. (They never mention unwelcoming those disagreeing though
)
Pointing towards Redot:
It serves a purpose and has it's own message.
I see lots of people hating Redot simply because it will merge future features from the Godot repository (mostly because GDScript is such a huge system, it cannot be rewritten) and therefor it'll be under it's control kinda.
For me that ain't a problem because all merges can be checked and if needed corrected if Godot tries to implement some weird mechanics - making Redot a supervised and still up-to-date version of Godot.
It also means that no matter to what repo maintainers commit changes, all can be integrated into Redot.
Which also counts for Godot btw - if Redot fixes things and implements new Banger features, Godot can snack those too x3 so it'll be an arms race for who has the better social standing.. *wink wink*
