  • I just want to say, Mamdani is excellent. But I feel like he’s getting a lot of undue credit when the candidates he endorsed are just great people. For example, Brad Lander was a similarly-strong candidate for NYC mayor who was arrested by ICE for attempting to prevent them from detaining someone. When Mamdani won the Primary for Mayor everyone kinda just knew Brad had a future somewhere else.

    Mamdani deserves some credit for endorsing good people, and using his brand to boost them, but it seems like the accomplishments of those he endorsed are getting overshadowed in articles and headlines by what seems like an attempt to turn real progressive momentum into “Mamdani’s little club.”

    Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Mamdani, or even him being the face of the movement. It just seems like there are people in power trying to undermine him and the movement by making him the face of it.











  • Almost certainly not. All you would really need to do to stop this is limit who can submit pull requests to verified devs. Things go back to the way they were during the clunkier, before times when everyone used Subversion, when there were more hoops to jump through to contribute code. Make it so you need an existing contributor to “mentor” first-time contributors (making sure they aren’t an AI, are writing competent code that follows project standards, etc.) before giving access to submit dozens of pull requests.
