So, is the account actually read-only?
Is it because you read one per day by the end of the day?

… was a VMware bill for “10 times the sum it previously paid for software licenses,” per The Register.
… OpenNebula has enabled the company to dedicate more of its 3,000 bare metal server fleet to client loads instead of to VM management, as it had to with VMware. With OpenNebula purportedly requiring less management overhead, Beeks is reporting a 200 percent increase in VM efficiency since it now has more VMs on each server.
Damn. Pay less and gain significant efficiency increases.
I had never heard of opkg. I looked it up:
opkg: Fork of ipkg lightweight package management intended for use on embedded Linux devices;
ipkg: A dpkg-inspired, very lightweight system targeted at storage-constrained Linux systems such as embedded devices and handheld computers. Used on HP's webOS;
Wikipedia has no dedicated pages for either of them. I guess they're quite niche.

It would certainly help evaluate submissions to have that context
That's a whole lot of assumptions, and cascading of them.
Gender-neutral is a factual, grammatical term. How do you call it if not that? The first PR in that case was rather neutral and not presumptuous or critical. It was a suggested improvement. But they made it [more] political by calling it political. And then denied it - which is inherently taking a political position.
Did you stop programming altogether? /s
I think you can potentially get stuck with worse when you stop Java.
It missed the target
This article is much the same if we replace “Discord” with “GitHub”, for instance, or “Twitter” or “YouTube”.
There is a fundamental difference between what they listed as one though: GitHub and YouTube are open to read and access and download and clone. Discord and Twitter are not.
I have much more of an issue with Discord than I have with GitHub or YouTube. Both GitHub and YouTube have free access, and host the largest part of the relevant userbase (synergy effect of having an account).
It's certainly worth discussing in project teams, but personally, I'd never leave GitHub in the current ecosystem for a niche product or platform - if I want contributors and collaborators or visibility. The vast majority of users already know GitHub and most accounts are on GitHub. That can't be said for niche platforms or self-hosted alternatives, which introduce barriers.
Before GitHub Sourceforge was somewhat similar. It was a proprietary but open platform. In a project I participated in (Mumble) it was reasonable enough (no more complicated than between any other platforms) to make the switch to GitHub. I see todays GitHub the same way. As long as it remains so primary prevalent and open to free access it's good enough, and when it goes downhill it's easy enough to switch away to a better alternative.
I'm still fond of alternative FOSS platforms, that they exist and evolve, and maybe easier account creation, synchronization, or federation will make them real alternatives. But for now, they are niche. Which of course doesn't mean niche is unviable or an alternative. But even as an invested and interested FOSS developer, user, and collaborator they're barriers to me. Which makes it obvious to me it's even moreso for less invested people.

I totally get how uncalled-for, unjustified negative comments and interactions can be demoralizing.
It's unfortunate how much impact bad actors have. It needs just one malicious actor to ruin something.
