It’s a thought-terminating cliche that encourages “niceness” (tolerating assholes, keeping your real opinions to yourself) over “kindness.” It’s also straight-up hero worship, which, among other things, ignores the fact that Matz belongs to a famously bigoted, racist, homophobic religious institution. 2025-05-29T16:18:27Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfmz5tr2dkh9rc2r8kehtq62gvgmthyupcwwgwrmuw4squ20vhxdqzypw2rgjw2murxvc5k45tulv32z0t7e09vdh45p7j9egewz2l0dlxsxe8ku8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrhjvp5mn7jwvmseha06x68xu2h0vmefjy9raah0gqx6yw06v2x4qez20ln'>nevent1q…20ln</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yuuup 2025-01-21T16:48:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswya86gmupl8c4a64dl8dnp96wm9l9ajfqejq45xqf0z82526n4vgzypw2rgjw2murxvc5k45tulv32z0t7e09vdh45p7j9egewz2l0dlxsrh960h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0wttn636gksexw7yaqktef0rgknaynzq48vwayyktp5cheneef4s7p6g09'>nevent1q…6g09</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Rails Core Team: “What a great guy!
