Ushahidi Accused of Covering Up Sexual Harassment Case “to Protect Ecosystem”

This thread was flooded with comments by new accounts (and some not-so-new accounts) in ways that show patterns of abuse, so we've banned the accounts. The comments are visible if you have 'showdead' set to 'yes' in your profile, but not otherwise.

If you're one of those users and want to be unbanned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com. We're happy to unban users who give us reason to believe they want to use the site as intended.

Why am I not surprised. I hate to generalise but the conglomerate that is iHub, BRCK, and Ushahidi has previously handled issues in a very disingenuous way:

- They denied that BRCK violated the GPL for the longest time, until someone had to go out of their way to break it down for them, and the community [1].

- How some of their board members handled the Angani saga [2].
