I thought this nonsense was about to go away noticed even github starting to default to master or maybe it was the terminal git. Sensoring tech words about things that happened 300 years ago is not OK

Changing defaults is an interesting definition of censorship. It's not like you can't configure it to still use a master branch if you want to.

Saying a word is bad is pretty much the definition of censorship yes. Not the context it is used, not the implications when it is used but uncategorically BAD - it just breaks my somewhat autistic brain on the principle.

PS: I have an african wife and let me tell you she has no beef with the word, she will have more beef with me talking to the cashier in a way that is too friendly

300 huh? That’s uhh that’s pretty inaccurate.
