You're absolutely correct there. My issue is that I feel like so many of us are almost giving in to the desires of those that spread misinformation, and becoming completely cynical towards anything that's shared online. A healthy amount of skepticism is required. Asking yourself "what does this person gain here if they're lying" and if that answer is "some notes on tumblr" then I'd personally rather choose to believe them. To instead get to have the positive feelings that post provides. Rather than dwell on it and believe that all of humanity are dishonest and disingenuous.

That's just my two cents.

1. yeah, i think most people do a single entry per page, no matter the length. that's not uncommon for a journal
2. none of these words are particularly complex
3. the author's age is unknown
4. i'd rather choose to take people at face value until given a reason otherwise

1. There's an older comment in this thread that details how you could verify those blobs: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/14458323
2. You very much implied that you shouldn't trust all people of Chinese descent. I personally very much dislike the CCP, as a government I think they cause an immeasurable amount* of harm. However, what you are suggesting is on the same level of racism as the US government locking up all Japanese-Americans in internment camps during WWII.
3. Seriously, calm down.

Yes, and in the last twelve months those discussions clearly accelerated, and that post made it clear the lead/original dev had made their mind up. Which very much negates you saying this was rushed.

Here's a post from May in the ~~Minetest~~ Luanti forums discussing the name change: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=425205#p425205

I'm not going to search further to find the original discussion, but another user in this thread mentions seeing talk of this about a year ago. I agree that it's not very professional for the new website to be in a less than functional state, but it feels like excitement or decision fatigue may be the culprit, not a rushed process. Then again, it's an open source video game, not everything has to be "professional" all the time. Meanwhile, enjoy this meme from luanti.org:

Okay... So it sounds like a dead project to me? When Luanti seems to have a huge community around it already...

Okay, but openblox.org doesn't resolve a website at all, directing users instead to a domain registrar.

Cool so, you linked to some git repositories that haven't been updated in 4-5 years, and looking at their current website there seems to be some sort of crypto involved now.

People Make Games has covered this stuff.

Textbook narcissism right there. Which tracks with the whole, posting a lie publicly to try and make himself look good.

Many companies voluntarily offer solutions to problems they themselves created, to try and prevent government regulation. This isn't a new thing. The MPAA is a perfect example of this that is over 100 years old.

Automated AI-detection doesn't work. That's discussed in the article. Even OpenAI deprecated their detection tool.
