Talk:Hector Martin (hacker)

should there be a mention about Martin's support for the #DropKiwiFarms campaign?
Just came across this story which mentions Martin.

NY Daily News: Cloudflare facing growing pressure to drop online forum known for transphobic content

Perhaps if there is another source in addition to this, then it might be worth writing a sentence to include in his bio? He seems to be an outspoken critic of Cloudflare's controversial support of Kiwi Farms. Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 09:19, 2 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately that is one of those stupid websites where they won't let Europeans look at it because they are still salty about being expected to do basic data protection and so I can't judge that. What I will say is that we currently have two items in the See also section where their relevance will not be clear to readers without some explanation. Adding a single sentence and moving the two links into that might be a good idea however we need to be sure that he is a key player in this and not just one of the many people sounding off about it. Linking somebody's name to KF in any way can have serious consequences for them. We need to make sure that we are not going beyond what is already there.

 * It's not a great source anyway, which is why I think another one would be necessary. He's already been targeted by Kiwi Farms, and is being pretty vocal, especially since he was friends/familiar with software developer Near. Check out Marcan's Twitter posts lately, heh. But I agree that it's important to be careful with things like this. I don't think he is a key player in the campaign, but has been an outspoken supporter to #DropKiwiFarms.

 * Oh also, checkout the Kiwi Farms article. Martin is already mentioned in the section about Near. So he's well known as a public figure in this regard, it seems. Cheers. 98.155.8.5 (talk) 00:30, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
