Imagine hiring a community manager that blocks your entire community...

The jokes just write themselves.

All of these positions like "community manager", "brand manager" and "diversity consultant" and the like. Notice how the job description always sells itself as avoiding controversy yet most modern controversies involved employing such positions, it's almost like companies are unironically paying these people to drive customers away or something.

Solutions:
* Fire Community managers
* Fork Engine

Ive talked with someone who used to be a Godot insider.

They've told me Godot internally has always been a shitshow, with several talented contributors beign driven away in favor of cultists and that they're not surprised that this happened.

More importantly, the community manager wasn't conventionally hired, she was simply a woke dev's friend who got the job. They've told me that knowing Godot it's unlikely they'll fire the community manager, so expect this situation to blow up in their faces even more.

Hard not to notice every single time a CM has a meltdown, they always have pronouns and LGBT+ flags everywhere. Who tf describes themselves as "obnoxiously queer"? Headaches do.

It's so weird that these inclusive people are the first to call for exclusion of people as soon as they don't see it their way.

Of course it seems to be a Xanax addict in the Discord.

"Feel free to talk to me about anything...well, except for *that*"

This is why you don't hire these kinds of people, especially not in important representative positions like Community Manager. They are hurting the business, when it looks like the creator doesn't agree with their radical takes.

Another organisation has chosen self-termination

Time to fork Godot. The open source software world has always been full of people of this kind of ideology, so no real surprise here.

[georgedavidson]

does the job description for community manager include the skill set of "must be able to alienate everyone at the drop of a pronoun" and "must be insane"

[connieellerbe-maycock]

Stop supporting them and the problem will be solved.

It's frustrating for me as a Godot user because this isn't the stance of the Godot community as a whole. It's the community manager that's going off the rails with this shit. Now people who have never heard of Godot before now have a negative first impression of it. The majority of Godot developers want none of this.

[megasean]

First thing companies should do when hiring a community manager is look at their social media history. Do they attack people over differing ideologies? How large is their block list? Is their online presence going to be a massive black mark on the company? Why would companies decide to hire people like that?

[LazerRay]

A better solution to this issue is to weed out all the activists from everything gaming related (it doesn't matter their position), since now the indie devs are going to suffer due to this BS.

Instead of DEI in games, we need FIRE (Fun, Immersion, Replay-ability, and Escapism)

If you are supporting this game engine with your money you need to stop asap.

[Lostmarbles]

To think they could fuck up this much even after they made themselves look good during the unity mess and turns out there no better internally who knew😂

[jarotheboar]

I've never heard of Godot honestly, but im not surprised they want to attack us for criticism

Not even an apology would fix this hellfire

[chrish]

Really bad timing with Unity backtracking on their per download charge, people flocked to Godot because of that.

[Official_RetroMania]

Imagine blocking people just because they have a different opinion than you. Why? You are game engine, just stay out of it smh. 🙄😮‍💨
