I was banned from an OpenSource project [1] recently because I suggested a bug fix. Their „code of conduct“ not only prevents PRs but also comments on issues with information that was retrieved by any AI tool or resource.

Thinking about asking Claude to reimplement it from scratch in Rust…

That must be so hard for you.

The bugs are on them. I‘ve fixed them in my fork but of course I‘ll migrate to a non-discriminating alternative.

Your fork works, so why are you so unhappy? You can always publish you diff to help other people if you really want to do so.

I don‘t want others to get trappend, hence I‘ve unpublished my fixes. I‘ll also migrate to another software as I clearly have no time dealing with such exclusive politics. There is no point in discussing with stubborn and brain-washed people, the only solution is to move forward and warn others.

That’s the reason I posted my comment.
