@Foxboron what if we turn the anger into calling this out in the issue trackers? Which is what folks did. Then the issue tracker got locked down.
Your toot is pulling double duty as both "don't harass/doxx people" which, yes, obviously, don't fucking harass individuals. Good call-out.
But at the same time it *also* reads as then saying "don't complain to FOSS maintainers" which, no, you absolutely should. Everyone should complain loud and publicly about nonsense like what systemd just pulled.

@TheRealPomax *complaining* doesn't help anyone. Some projects will need to comply with this law, if you show up and tell them "don't do that" you are just asking a project to break the law on your behalf. Does this apply to systemd? No, it's a component. But what then? Do we just tell the projects that *need* to comply to "get lost"? Turning your anger towards the FOSS maintainers that are at the end of the stick is unproductive.
