I had never heard of PaleBla before today. After seeing the BSD issue mentioned above, a short visit to their forum, and what’s being said by their supporters here I can unequivocally say it’s the most toxic and incompetent community in tech I’ve ever seen.

It’s weird and cult-like, but without drugs, dancing, or women. It’s sort of alt-right, hating gays and foreigners just as much as post-2008 JavaScript, but there just isn’t any reasonable model explaining how that connects.
