GitHub straight up blocked a woman from the community org for writing this in the discussion about Grok in Copilot. The entire situation is growing exponentially more distasteful the longer they choose to censor rather than respond. This is just so, so shameful.

A message posted by user @akiraveliara, which GitHub marked as "disruptive content" and hid: "For GitHub, a company which prides itself on supporting its developers, to collaborate with Elon Musk and his company, whose primary raison d'être is to provide an electronic nazi to his godforsaken platform as if there weren't too many of them to begin with, is, quite frankly, disgraceful. Elon Musk and his actions have threatened and are threatening the livelihoods of so many of us, all across the world, and I believe that every last one of us has a moral duty to oppose the spread of fascism in general and people along the lines of Elon Musk in specific, not to give them money to integrate their LLM. GitHub has already strained my, and judging by this thread many others', patience considerably with the entire copilot business. As far as I am concerned, copilot was unethical enough - training without consent on code people like myself upload to this platform with the intention to help other humans, and aggressively marketing and integrating it with other Microsoft products for questionable benefits, if any - but integrating Grok, which exhibits all these issues while also being built by a Nazi for the purposes of spreading Nazi propaganda on his Nazi platform, takes this disrespect of developers to a new level. May no grass grow on your pastures until the day MechaHitler has met the fate of its idol."
