This is retarded about if_ms_buys_github_imma_out

Indeed I'm no native speaker, but "no one needs to care about this movement but they do and it's completely fucking retarded" has a meaning that the caring itself is retarded and that caring is unseparable from the person. I still don't see why are you being so aggressive.

[stinovlas]

You don't agree with this movement and don't worry about Microsoft acquiring GitHub. I do worry. Lots of other people do worry, too. My worries are based on long-term experience with Microsoft. Maybe those worries will come true and maybe they don't. But I don't see any reason for you to call me or anyone else retarded.

Why are you so outraged by this movement and it's supporters?

some believe deeply that the open source community needs an independent home. Some believe that the concentration of so much power in the hands of so few is antithetical not just to free and open software, but also to a free and just society.

It's necessary.

This is what y'all should be starring

I’m not calling anyone retarded, I don’t agree with this movement. “This” refers to the movement itself, not the supporters. Go learn grammar.

We each have our own opinions and that’s fine. Period.

[bheywar]

You "don't agree with it", yet you're actively shilling an opposing side.

And yeah, this is our opinion. Go support that other repo.

And?

And... What?
