Abhishek Chaudhary is truly a child. As someone who runs a software company, I would absolutely never hire anyone who engages in this kind of behavior (especially so publicly), and I hope all future employers are made aware of this behavior.
I like to think that at the heart of all this, Abhishek was genuinely trying to point out the potential for spam, but my god what a shitty way to go about it. It's like Abhishek has never heard of responsible disclosure before. It makes him seem like such an immature "hacker" -- by that I mean someone who has recently learned just enough JS to write a spam bot and now thinks they have the right to "take down" a community, instead of working with them to fix the problem.
In any case, I hope this serves as a lesson to Abhishek Chaudhary about being an asshole online (however I am not hopeful in this regard, as there really haven't been any consequences for his actions). I have reported him to GitHub (for his rude comments here: https://github.com/echojs/echojs/issues/12), freeCodeCamp (where he is an "author"), and will continue to report him in any other communities he joins so they will know about his behavior in interacting with the EchoJS community.
The freeCodeCamp code of conduct clearly mentions no harassment, trolling, or spamming. And while it only applies to freeCodeCamp (the website), I think it reflects poorly on them that @theabbie, in claiming to be an author representing freeCodeCamp, is spamming on other apps such as EchoJS.
I already reached out to the folks who run freeCodeCamp, where Abhishek Chaudhary is claiming to be an author (although it is unclear in what capacity). The owner of freeCodeCamp was very receptive and had already had complaints about Abhishek (and Abhishek knows full well that he is in violation of their Code of Conduct: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/code-of-conduct/).
As of right now, his GitHub page still lists him as an author, so perhaps reach out to the owners again (Quincy Larson is quite responsive).
I will also be submitting an abuse claim on GitHub against Abhishek, as he is continuing to engage in abusive and disrespectful conduct on an issue discussion for EchoJS. You can file a report here: https://support.github.com/contact/report-abuse?category=report-abuse&report=theabbie&report_type=user
Mods should ban @god as Abhishek Chaudhary is back at it again with the spam posts.
To save everyone the click, here's what Abhishek Chaudhary thinks about EchoJS:
> If Spam prevention is not the #1 priority while designing a community, that community doesn't deserve to exist.
> ...And, EchoJS is clearly a failure.
> I was very serious about shutting down EchoJS as these are not some minor issues.
> EchoJS is fundamentally flawed in it's design.
> TLDR Don't blame incompetence on ethics, EchoJS is a failure.
Abhishek Chaudhary, you are not welcome in the EchoJS community.
Thank you for soliciting our opinions! :)
As others have said, I see it as relevant, and I don't think there's ever an overwhelming amount of new content on EchoJS, so I don't ever worry about the top 20 posts all being about WASM. That might change as the site grows though.
