Dangerous not to make that more clear if true.


Isn't the whole point of good satire that it's not immediately evident whether it's a joke or not?

Regardless, I don't see how this satire could be considered dangerous.

Watch the twitter mob forming outside the window!


You can watch the mob forming in realtime. https://twitter.com/search?q=sqlite&src=typd

> "I hope there are discussions at REDACTED today about whether featuring SQLite on their front page is consistent with their values."

> "The message is clear: if you're concerned about diversity, decency, and inclusiveness, stay well away from the SQLite project."

> "I wonder if SQLite Consortium member organizations @mozilla, NDS association, @BentleySystems, @expensify, @business were consulted on this move."

> "This is the as*le: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._Richard_Hipp … (thanks @weigandtLabs for finding that out). He _is_ the main SQLite dev. And that's the community he's building. So SQLite is now dead -- or, at least, it should be."


Pathetic. I am not a user of twitter precisely because I have no interest in reading those sort of reactions. But I am strangely fascinated by this continuous stream of 1st degree, knee jerk reactions, it's kind of like watching shit flowing out of a bull's ass...
