Hey #Fosdem! Jason is heading to the #Github Open Social event tonight at Scott’s Bar and Kitchen— and he has a limited quantity of these #Thunderbird stickers and T-shirts to give away!
Want one? Find him between 8pm and 10pm. He’s wearing a Thunderbird hoodie.
So to get @thunderbird merch, I need to attend a #microsoft event? I hope they pay you well got this advertisement.
@kirschwipfel Oh come on. There was no silly payment involved, and we're talking about literally 4 or 5 T-shirts.. We've also been roaming around FOSDEM all day and promoting that. We're just trying to connect with our fans at the event.
There's no need to be so hostile.
It's not about the T-shirts, it's about you promoting one if the major surveillance capitalism companies.
@thunderbird
@kirschwipfel Actually, it's about connecting with our fans, at a brief event organized by the service that hosts our source code.
If we truly wanted to promote something, it would be done across all of our social media channels, not just here. There would be blog posts, photos from the event, and so much more.
This discourse isn't productive at all, and if you think about it, YOU are doing more to shine a light on Microsoft than we are
