Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

The developer of Reiser.fs, Hans Reiser killed his wife and currently is imprisoned as a convicted murderer
The maintainer and developer of core-js served a 19-month prison sentence for killing two people in a traffic accident.
Probably not fair to mention the core-js developer in the same context as Reiser. The way he explains it, he wasn't at fault in that accident, and the Russian legal system is just messed up. His account here: https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md#accident
Yeah, it wasn't my intention to put these two incidents on the same level. Judt wanted to share the two cases I know where Oprn Source devs actually killed people.
