There is a difference between the justified public backlash that happened and the piling on the developer who merged the request after it was fixed.

This has been fixed. It was a bug, see this merge request: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/313931

There a quite a lot of toxic comments there already, please dont add to the pile.

Its very cool! The instructions on how to clone the repo also show to me that Radicle isnt really that usable (yet?)
