I feel like there are many devs out there who expose a lot of personal details and opinions all over the web. Maybe it’s just me, but when starting out with the internet I tried my best to separate my personal details (name, age, sex, country, ethnicity, family ties, relationship status,…) from usernames in public.

Seeing devs do it willingly and voice opinions on divisive or sensitive topics kind of messes with me. Aren’t y’all afraid of missing out on job opportunities if someone reads your opinions, code, or other stuff tied to your personal accounts? Or letting anybody (maybe family, friends, acquaintances, …) in on your personal life, mindset, opinions and other personal information?

    Can we please stop with the license crap attached to posts? It’s annoying and also pointless.

      I heard that there is a person making a bot to pull all linked comments/posts to the Anti AI license stuff as a joke. To train a LLM and create more comments.

      This is a strange world.

      I mean tbh they’re free to do as they wish as long as they’re abiding by our TOS and guidelines

      While adding a CC license on a comment is questionable on the aspect of viability, it doesn’t violate any of our community rules

      Please do not gatekeep unless you see justification for the prevention of something

        Is it gatekeeping if they voice their disapproval? Is any form of disapproval gatekeeping? Where is the line?

        They didn’t ask them to stop posting or participating. Wouldn’t that be the line where it crosses to gatekeeping?

        They asked them not to attach the CC notice. It didn’t address their content.
