Ladybird Web Browser Developer Attacked by Unhinged, Dishonest Activists
Two days ago, the Ladybird Web Browser made quite a bit of news -- with a major investment and the establishment of a new Non-Profit organization to build a "from scratch" web browser.
Positive, non-controversial, non-political, very nerdy news.
Unfortunately, within hours of the spotlight being directed at Ladybird, a group of activists launched an all-out-assault on the open source web browser -- by smearing it as "Transphobic", "Mysoginistic", and (this is absolutely not a joke) suggesting that the Ladybird developers actively support and promote human slavery.
Hundreds of posts repeating such smears (among others) -- with one Tech publication declaring a total boycott of Ladybird because of it.
What vile deed were the developers of Ladybird guilty of, which necessitated such an intense response, you ask?
Well, I'll tell you.
