Godot is fine. This was their statement https://x.com/godotfoundation/status/1840721449364988300?t=S... Basically they made a post showing support for LGBT+, and they got a bunch of harrassment so they banned people.

Also what were the political tirades and banned contributors?

It seems like you follow it closely enough to have a strongly-biased opinion.

Rather than do snipe comments can you dispute or show where this person is misrepresenting what happened for the rest of us

> And then there was more controversy in their discord, which they later falsely claimed was the “unofficial” discord even though it was listed on the community part of their website and run by their social media people

There are two discords linked from the community section[1], one of them is listed under “Official communities” and the other under “User-supported communities”. The discord in question is the latter, the unofficial one.

I went and looked on the way back machine—that only became true in July of this year; prior to that, the user support community's Discord was marked as the official one.

Do you think that blackeyeblitzar was mistaken about that being the official Discord because they were referring to an out of date version of the Community page dating back more than 4 months ago?

I think most people would have considered the "not official" discord the official one because it WAS when they joined it.... especially considering most of the moderation team behind it was the same team running this new "official" one.

The entire narrative of "oh well it's not the official one so we wash our hands of it" is incredibly weak to anyone who isn't trying to find excuses for the project considering it was the official one until recently and tons of people were shocked to find out it wasn't the official one anymore.

Nobody who actually uses that discord server would have been shocked, since it was widely, repeatedly and loudly announced on it that they were moving to the official server months ago.
