• Godot Game Engine Enacts Mass "Cleansing" of Non-Woke Supporters

  Yes. Developers are being banned from the Godot source code repository on GitHub for the crime of either having the "wrong political ideas" or for suggesting that "Godot should focus on software". Even if those statements were made on personal accounts on different online platforms.

  The first is that Godot appears to be distancing themselves from this moderator by stating that this was an "unofficial Godot-related Discord server".

  However, this Discord server was listed as the official Discord server -- according to the Godot Foundation website (as of just three months ago). Likewise, "Xananax" has been often referred to as the "Main Moderator" for multiple years.

  Thus proving that "Xananax" was, indeed, an official moderator of the official Discord server for Godot. At least until... now.

  The second point is that the Godot Foundation is "condemn[ing] the harmful language" of their moderator. But what language, specifically? Is Godot condemning the statement that their users are "the filth of humanity" who can "[censored] off to oblivion"? We assume so... but they don't actually specify.

  Plus: Godot censors journalists, asks banned users to beg to be un-banned.

  Those who suggest Godot "focus on software" are labeled "filth of humanity" and "toxic pieces of [censored]".
