Godot Engine just Destroyed their Reputation

Open-source game engine Godot has gone on a massive blocking spree and hidden hundreds of not thousands of tweets via their official Twitter account, these actions amassing immense negative public attention.

Pin or 10 years of bad aim in any game

[Arassar]

It's ALWAYS the "community managers."

[Hravokh]

"you have no right of speech here" classic open minded individual

[samual_not_samuel]

Just fire the community manager, and unban everyone, make public apology, that's all Godot has gotta do.

[nnjaghostX]

A single person sabotaging an entire brand has to be grounds for litigation. It is banning all the backers lol

[Interference]

A lot of community managers don't seem to understand what their function is. This is not managing, this is antagonism. This is lording it over the plebs because you didn't get enough attention in high school. It's deeply childish, destructive, and completely irresponsible.

It takes years to build a reputation and one mod on a power trip to ruin it overnight. Any Godot dev should be absolutely livid that they're being dragged down by this playground idiocy.

(Also it's pronounced "God-dough." It's a reference to "Waiting for Godot, " a play by Samuel Beckett.)

"Your free speech offends my intense desire for totalitarianism!"

[Marcelelias]

God damn it, why do those grifters ruin everything nowadays??

[Garganit]

Holy shit that mod has severe main character syndrome

[ArazNebiza]

This is just so sad to see. Godot is an amazing community driven engine and it didn't deserve this.

2023: Unity announces anti developer price change and download fee
Unity devs: we'll just go to gadot since they won't try this
2024: gadot account blocking all even the biggest donators
former Unity Gadot devs: Yo, what the F-!

"Just do your best to be a normal human being about it and there will be no drama"....says the "normal" human being while stirring up more drama by completely losing their mind.

[guyclykos]

Good thing godot's open source. Fork! Fork! Fork!

[akumabazooka]

Xanex just told the entire internet what kind of person he is. All that projection

[_GhostMiner]

Godot: blocks everyone they don't like
Also Godot: Why did all supporters leave?

[Neil.]

Because everyone knows censoring and silencing anyone who dares giving criticism and doesn't mindlessly agree with your world views is the pinnacle of "virtue" and "tolerance"!

"it's fine when WE do it!"

[themore-you-know]

As a Godot user...
(sigh) I just want a TextEdit property to disable the TAB button, or better Fbx imports. Not woke managers subverting a project to which they contributed 0 lines of code.

[ZenoDovahkiin]

The Discord mods that ban you for putting your gender as attack helicopter did mothing when one of the admins (xananax) called people that didn't like the server being openly political less than human and called for violence against them.
I am disappointed but not surprised.

[buckweevil]

The way they dehumanize their enemies is frightening. When people like that get power, people get hurt.

[tonkatsumelon]

The good guys calling anyone they disagree the "filth of humanity"
