I wrote this on Mastodon, but I will copy it over here. Because he spouts nonsense all across the forum on a fairly regular basis.
The creator is a BDFL but they are against setting up a foundation because they <i>"lost faith in mankind"</i> and then ranted about "master vs main" on git, and used that to segue into a mini-rant on essentially "woke" ideology. In less than 500 characters.
> Here is a hint: If you are obsessed with racism and sexism it's because you're a racist and sexist. Now go and cancel "He-Man - Masters of the Universe" because obviously He-Man is a slave owner.
I get the vibe they might be racist, sexist, and just a bit out-of-touch with reality. I wouldn't trust having corporate code, or any code, built on it. Dude is a bit unhinged in that regard.
He's not unhinged, just a right-wing politically.
If you believe it's a crime or that we should all ignore software based on political alignment of their creators, thats telling me more about you, than Nim's BDFL.

Two times, more than 2 years ago is not "all across" and neither it's "regular". I am a regular user on the forum, and I haven't seen any rants apart from two you referenced here.
