Phoronix forums have got to be the most hateful threads I have come across in the Linux community. It’s sad because the articles really helped me get into and understand the ecosystem

The Phoronix comment section has always been kinda shit. Maybe one in every thousand posts will contain anything of value (in most cases a comment by a developer telling the peanut gallery why they’re wrong).
This is all entirely Michael’s fault because he refuses to have anything resembling of a moderation.
Use adblockers. Never give him any of your precious money. He doesn’t deserve a single penny of it.
Edit: Fun fact: Karol also stopped visiting Phoronix forums a fair bit of time ago. GEE, I wonder what caused it to happen?
Edit 2: That particular forum post is now loginwalled LMFAO
Yeah I actually am slowly realizing that I agree with that. Lots of bigots in Phoronix comment sections… and that doesn’t even include the obviously psychotic rants, its just the ones that unashamedly shit on DEI all the fucking time
I feel like as long as there is money to be gained from it (be it via clicks or whatever), these people will stay.
So you gotta, in video game terms, “hit the boss on its weakpoint”.
What also grinds my gears is that one guy in there who ban evaded twice, everyone else knows who they are, yet they still remain on the forums to this day. If that doesn’t tell anybody that that site has a serious moderation problem, I don’t know what will.
One thing a person learns quickly is to never ever under no circumsision open the comments on phoronix articles. Never. Even if you see a thing with lots of comments and you think “maybe there’s some good stuff this time there”, nope the fuck out.
under no circumsision
I appreciate that Circumcision is misspelled so you had to actually go out of your way on that one

this made me realize I should probably stop supporting a forum where anti-“woke” trolls are allowed. hopefully there’s a feedback forum when I unsubscribe
What’s going on with all this maintainers why they are so mass leaving, it was fine until recent martin shit behavior
Have you read the LKML thread where the Rust people are called “Cancer”, then slapped with “You are the problem” to end up with “we are the Thin Blue Line”? Herbst is right, it is sickening.
And what “line” is that? The last line against… Innovation? Just Stuff Moving Forward Like It Does Without Regards For Your Fragile Ego? The Dinosaurs Extinction?
Isn’t “thin blue line” one of these pro-cop phrases that resurfaced in reaction to BLM? If so, I think fascism might be a part of the problem.
Yes. Calling this image today is super-loaded in every way: racism, white supremacy, fascism, it’s all there from BLM to the Jan 6 Insurrection.
