Roberto's Wikipedia page deleted in retaliation

Off-topic

Hey guys,

just found out that someone launched an online attack on Roberto and had his Wikipedia page deleted for political reasons.

Search hits on Mayan are already very low on search engines and this will obscure the content even more.

I posted about it on HackerNews to raise awareness - you can help by checking it out: search for the post ‘Harassment campaign targets open source dev, Wikipedia page gets deleted’. If you have an account make sure to upvote to keep it active.

This is one way you can help a great open source project without spending a single dime.

Awesome! But the submission thread is already on page 2 and it’s clear that almost nobody cares about this stuff.

I’m seriously impressed by Roberto - how he keeps coding, deals with all the whining on the forums, and still puts up with harassment. It makes me respect him even more, but also kinda disappointed in this community.

I won’t fault him if he ever get fed up, gets Mayan closed sourced and becomes a huge commercial success, then everyone will realize what they missed out on for not supporting him and supporting Mayan when it mattered.
