The Xz backdoor and a near miss on the F-Droid app store show how the entitled attitude of some people in the open source community can be used to push malicious or insecure code.
Not sure why its still showing for you but i removed my comment seconds after posting as i misread and didnt know this was about bulling. I firmly stand against bullies of any kind.
Ever since the xz thing i have noticed a general increase in articles and clickbait titles spreading fear about open source software in general, its started to feel like intentional propaganda, for this post it was unwarranted.
Ps: please do confirm if my comments is removed by now on your end, i suspect comments may not always continue to sync between lemmy servers after the first initial postings.

No, I still see it. Not sure why, maybe because I commented on it.
I’ve had several comments behave the same way, unable to actually delete them, even after waiting a while for the delete to propagate.
The best thing to do is edit it to be just a period then delete. I can still sew deleted comments by hitting copy text
There’s always been FUD around OSS, this is just a fresh wave of it since the xz thing got quite a bit of publicity.
