When Sync lauched it was all anyone was talking about. I don't see the memes for and against Sync as people actually upset I just think it is the meta topic of the week. Like when beans were a meme following the "how can I not poop for three days?"
The Poop Warrior shall live on in our memories.
that may or may not be the case, but the reality of the situation is that it makes the whole foss community look a whole lot more off putting
Imo when it comes to topics like that, people tend to be able to just brush it off as a silly internet thing.
A silly internet thing is not necessarily equivalent a toxic community. I'm good with annoying posts, but a lot of people are taking other people's personal decisions a little too personally. I find that behaviour more annoying than I ever found the bean posts, tbh.
Why would someone spend their free time somewhere that they feel brings bad aspects to their life? Why would someone want to deal with a lot of negativity over (let's be honest) pretty minor things? Of course some users will get put off by that. It's why some people left Reddit years ago.
I just wanted to tell you how happy I was to see the Netscape logo as your icon. Brought me back to the old days of the internet.
Thanks, I'm glad it made you happy. I love how it manages to get so much detail despite being so low resolution.
