Now three pages of issues from Chinese internet mob standing for Russia.

It's a bit ironic that they have to break their own laws to use VPNs to access GitHub

GitHub is not blocked by GFW

If that's true, I'm surprised it's not. There's plenty of historically censored material on it

I screen recorded it just in case they get deleted: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/779134930265309198/94...

Seems like they restricted commenting and opening new issues but haven't closed/deleted the issues yet.

EDIT: They appear to be closed (some also deleted) now.

I just posted a screenshot of React's issue list on Facebook. And that was removed by FB saying that it was against the community standards of hate speech.

well, seem that Facebook doesn't like people talking about React's issue.

These people have a point: everyone in the world seems to be against Russia, but nobody gives a shit when US invade other countries.

What did it cause this double standard?

Re:React.js GitHub Issues After Declaring Support for Ukraine by byronw on Friday March 04, 2022 @04:15AM (#30552406)
So what? Has the EU sanctioned the US for invading other countries? Did Russia try to expand his military allies in the Americas? How did the US react when the Soviet Union tried to deploy missiles in Cuba?

The West always has such double standards and always puts itself on the high ground of human rights. You always shout against war and lay down your arms, but never ask why wars happen; it's not that you don't know why, you just pretend not know. Civilians in war are always pitiful, but it is the Ukrainian government that is now pushing the civilian population of Ukraine into war, and these politicians insist on being in cahoots with the US for their own interests in the face of successive Russian objections.

For a hundred years, China has been ravaged by imperialism, and we know better than anyone the hypocrisy and greed of Western imperialism. No matter how you try to argue, we Chinese are always on the side of justice.

Well, I don't think it's advisable for Chinese programmers to create issues on github to express their opposition. However, as an open source tool, it is not supposed to be involved in political topics. Since Facebook intends to use React to make a political statement, then it is inevitable that it is opposed by Chinese programmers.

Poor React developers, is an issue tracker of an open source web framework really the best place to do this kind of thing?

If they want to support Ukraine, they should do something better than spamming this repo with nonsense issues

EDIT: Just pasted some of the comments into a translator, and it doesn't seem they all want to support Ukraine

Looks like an automated attack. I hope GitHub has a way to block these spammers

Sadly, they are real people. Many Chinese developers like to use this way to boycott the organization that speaks political statements that they are against. Last time, the main developer of Go spoke out for Hong kong on Twitter. There were also many Chinese developers who created many trash issues to boycott the Go developer team.

It's largely not.

Why facebook like political, opensource is more and more like a weapon, boring and irritating.

你们真的care那些其他国家战争的人吗,还是把她们用作话术工具用来满足你廉价的民族主义情绪。
