Well said!

@adriandaub.bsky.social & @moiradonegan.bsky.social if you ever do a live podcast episode in Europe, you should invite Daniel. He’s one of the people actually standing up to those Creeps.

Nice is different than good. (Into the Woods)

Well said (and beautifully expressed).

The community is one of the best parts of Nuxt. Thank you for being a great steward 🙏

Thank you for drawing a clear line. Some things don't deserve a nice response, and saying so out loud is exactly the kind of decency that's getting rare.

Well said! And your aside is worth repeating: "...if someone positions themselves against [my] values I really feel that's on them – in much the same way as a scientist doesn't become 'political' just because a political party chooses to deny accepted science."

Thanks this was eye opening and also depressing. Was not expecting to see ladybird and futo on there given the mission of the projects ☹️

This is a great resource. ☝️

Man, there were a few that genuinely surprised me. Bummed.

Andreas Kling? 😢💔 I looked at the sources and wow wtf he seems like the nicest guy in those monthly Ladybird updates I'm so confused right now, I really genuinely thought he was a great guy that is hugely disappointing 🙁

Great list and good callout to rauch and dorsey- they are fully on board with trump

That list is getting long. It stings that Rauch is, rightfully, on it. I love Vercel, but...

oh shit I had no idea about Rossmann, ew

Great essay. Personally I think the way of making things better is to have zero tolerance for people with these beliefs in our communities. But at the same time I think we could benefit from deeply understanding them and why they hold such repugnant beliefs.

👏👏👏

Words to live by. Respect!

bravo

I've also been exploring this lately. It's challenging because my entire life has revolved around pleasing others. On the topic, it's harsh to see a thought leader meltdown. Wonder if it might be related to a midlife crisis (no offense, I'm approaching one too). People tend to radicalize then.

Fuck em, name em and shame em.

The tolerance paradox feels like it’s basically just game theory grim trigger strategy. Tolerate everyone, but as soon as they do something intolerant they should never be tolerated again.

it's impossible to be nice to everyone is the thing. if you continue to be nice to Alice after Alice has expressed her desire to ethnically cleanse Bob, Bob is going to draw the obvious conclusions. you have to choose

I agree on everything you said, and i hate DHH since the day he was trash tweeting about Muslims

Thank you brother.

this was emberfest in Prague! and was a good talk! (partly about remembering that there are humans on the other side of the screen)

(i (and probably we) agree with your blog post tho)

👀

That was not nice

Understanding the paradox of tolerance should be the baseline.

💯 % Another reason for me to like @nuxt.com

Those people would be sore at me and would have no idea what happened (which makes sense), they would insult our community for rejecting them… But I just remember this initial urge to “be nice” and try to avoid kicking them out in the first place… But I had to not be nice.

This guy showed his fangs quite some time ago. I noticed it when i saw this post where he intentionally picked/ignored relevant data to the statistics that the original report had back in Jan 2025: x.com/dhh/status/1... and someone called him out for it: x.com/IndieCEO/sta...

If you don't like the way Nuxt is led, fork it.

Everything is political, I have learnt to never let anyone convince me it is not. Amazing article. I also didn't know about the DHH stuff, thanks for leaving that in, I will avoid omarchy.

👏💚

Having a spine and sticking to your values is more important that appearing nice or polite to those who would roll over you without flinching

Well stated

yes!!!!

dudes rock

As someone who moderated a tech-focused community for several years, it took me a while to develop the sense to drop my usual nuance-focused thinking, And be more prompt in acting against disruptors acting in bad faith, particularly politically. Such users don't respond to tact.

If that's good as in good vs evil, not just sometimes

kind, not nice, yes.

A lot of others mentioned what I think, esp. Karl Popper. So I'm here to say that you are important.

Thank you for writing about the need to confront not nice with not nice. Arch fan here too.. helped launch a distro based on it (no longer maintained) www.linux.com/news/kind-fo... I had no idea DHH (arch creator, and ruby-on-rails co-creator) espoused bigotry and evil. Good to know and call out.
