Oh wow why does the billionaire think FLOSS conferences will welcome him?
Maybe because we are still discussing whether it's fair to ban:
Man convicted for having child abuse materials,
man who advocates for child abuse,
man with massive Nazi tattoo who drove Kathy Sierra off the internet in 2007,
and so many godsdamned serial rapists and sexual harassers that you have to be specific about which one you're talking about, sometimes when discussing one open source project.
Oh, and there's a whole bunch of ableism too. Why would a billionaire feel welcome in a poorly-ventilated space without a COVID safety policy? Maybe because the only thing separating many open source project leaders from billionaires is the number of zeroes in their bank accounts.
If you don't give a damn about what end users want and need, especially when that is usability and accessibility, how are you better than a billionaire? Show your work.

@akareilly@hachyderm.io I did not realise this was about FOSDEM at first. Honestly heartbreaking to find out that it is.
