Please, admins, edit the title to "Feminist Software Foundation".

As for my opinion on the PR, I left a quite blunt statement on the PR itself.

It shouldn't even say that, it should be a dead article, since these are trolls.

This interesting thing is that, besides the feminist trolling, the Feminist Software Foundation Github account actually has some legitimate code repos/pull requests.

Why promote the full name, of what appears to be a troll account, whose intent is probably to cause division?

It's clickbait, I mistaked it for "Free Software Foundation" when skimming over "newest".

Thanks for clarifying; I can understand why now. Also, the link should be removed, like suggested by mjgoins.

I wouldn't call it clickbait. Satire is closer to the truth.

Are you the one who called them out in the issue on C+= to which they responded with character attacks instead of a sensible argument? Thanks for doing that!

Nope, I'm "msmuenchen" on Github - are you maybe referring to another drama of them?

Couldn't write the whole name, as the headline is limited to 80 chars. Sorry.

I was more hoping for a hate thread. As it is how I feel at this moment.

I could write some pretty ugly things, but the problem is that I'd likely end up in jail for saying how I really feel :D

Haha! It's a bit the same for me, my Facebook post is going a wee bit crazy right now.
