Yes, I think that’s what made this attack so effective: that kind of abuse is normalized in much of the tech world so it’s very easy to miss that in this targeted case it was coming from accounts with no prior involvement in the community. I like the open feel we’ve had for the last 3 decades but I do think this will likely mean a lot of projects becoming less open, which is warranted but going to suck for people trying to start a career.
