@davidfetter@kolektiva.social ... and in fact, while there was a little discussion about the 'process': https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/111007513562057406 which ThePhD responded to: https://hachyderm.io/@thephd@pony.social/111008200173140120 The thing that disappoints me here is that while fasterthanlime is sort of owning up to their role and responsibility, he also says he would do it again and that is a problem for me, because keeping quiet while almost certainly racist stuff goes down is... well, systemic racism. fasterthanlime's thread is worth reading because it also touches on how dtolnay has wielded serde against Rust. Anyway, I think that's... kind of all the spoons I have for digging into it. I can't guarantee everything I remember happening still has links or posts up because I don't know if everything was archived. I can say I watched it play out at the time and ThePhD's discussion of what happened and when lines up whereas dtolnay's does not. 2/2 EDIT: I should add that fasterthanlime IS attempting to replace/remove serde and I think that's a good thing. I wish I could somehow go back in time and find a way to explain that hiding the name of the person involved in back room shenanigans to remove an invited Black speaker is an example of systemic racism/bias and how, in fact, I hope you would do it different next time, but.
