This makes me 😭
UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.
If possible, could you suggest some polite and optically effective ways to push back against this BS? Obviously, if a bunch of people create GitHub accounts and dogpile the linked suggestion with a bunch of annoyed comments, that will probably cause more harm than good.
I’m eyeing the emoji responses, which make a point without taking up extra space.
Regardless, screw anybody who wants to limit allowable emails to only include domains that can probably link your email address to your social security number upon request (and a few of them that are so deep in bed with the NSA that they probably already are.)
Update: GalacticHypernova, the person who made the request, is making an ass of themselves. Don’t interrupt your enemy while they are self sabotaging.
“polite and optically effective” does not mean spamming the thread, guys.
That’s not how GitHub issues work.
You’re just going to piss off the actual maintainer (7c, not GalacticHypernova).
