Re: vriskazone

Thats exactly the problem, if you’re only willing to believe bad things about Hussie after youve already decided he’s “evil,” you’re not actually engaging with the evidence or the history.

Hussies past isn’t some vague rumor mill, theres a well documented track record: lawsuits and legal threats against community members (Sarah Z being one of the highest profile examples), projects like Hiveswap collapsing amid claims of mismanagement, collaborators leaving under bad terms, and years of scattered testimony from former team members about hostile work environments. The UHC situation isnt an isolated ''Gio says so'', it fits neatly into an established pattern of controlling behavior, retaliation, and legal intimidation...

If you're reading Gio's post with the mindset of ''nothing will convince me unless I already believe Hussie is bad,'' then of course you won't find it convincing, you've pre decided the conclusion. But refusing to even weigh the allegations against Hussies documented past actions is basically saying ''I'm not going to change my mind no matter what,'' which isnt a fair standard for anyone.

You don’t have to take Gio's word on faith, you just have to look at the consistencies between what he describes and what's already public about how Hussie has operated for over a decade. If multiple independent accounts across years point to the same behavior, maybe the issue isn't that ''you need to think he’s evil first,++ but that the evidence has been there all along.
