funflame··on LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop
How is that extortion? If you use a library/project with a licence you need to abide by its terms. If you don't want to do that, then either write it yourself or find an alternative. People asking for the source code is not extortion, they're fully within their rights to do so.
funflame··on Mozilla appoints new CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
Have you donated to anti-Muslim, anti-Christian etc. platforms in a public fashion while working with them? Because you would've found quite quickly how that changes the interactions.

funflame··on Xbox’s new “8 strikes” mod rollout judges hate speech 3x worse than cheating
> It might've affected me negatively when I was younger or a teen

Isn't this the point, though? Considering how online gaming is generally focused more on younger demographics, being harsh on hateful speech is likely to improve the experience of those who are vulnerable to it.
