That's not what I did either in form and in substance.
There is a worrying trend of trying to force changes of vocabulary (not only this one) and to purge history for ideological purposes and we're also seeing people suffering for not embracing that trend or, worse, criticising it (as I wrote this is getting close to "public denunciations").
These are dynamics very similar, albeit not as extreme, to what happened during the Cultural Revolution and other campaigns in the USSR/Eastern Europe during the 20th century.
Fighting racism is a good cause, of course. But arguably so what fighting against feodalism and the exploitation of the working class, and see what happened...
I did not call anyone a "Red Guard", I wrote that the current situation was "getting there", and I think it could, indeed.
If you guys want to censor that comment as well, go ahead, but then please acknowledge where this is going.
I'll let you read about the topic then we can discuss, but do not think that what is happening is as innocuous as a "someone making a technical change". This has already gone far beyond that and we are really already quite close to "public denunciations" or the attacks on statues/the deads, etc. as it happened then.
This is not hyperbolic. That is what is extremely sad, and why I picked the topic I did as suggested reading: One important thing is to understand how these things start and get out of hand.
Let's not bury our heads in the sand and refuse to see what is happening.
A consensus algorithm isn't master/slave hence the different terminology.
Master/slave is a very clear analogy and is used extensively for example about hardware interfaces.
The point here is the same as in 1984. It is aimed at suppressing 'incorrect' thoughts. It is totalitarian and we see society moving that way more and more.
This is a ridiculous and sad move. We are living in 1984 a bit more every day.
Master/slave was chosen on purpose because it is very clear, clearer than the alternative you suggest, and is no more offending that using Knight, gladiator, etc.
Sometimes we must realise that an issue lies with the people who are offended by anything and everything, not with what offends them.
Absolutely, and this occurs all the time. Something happens in the US especially, but perhaps also Western Europe and it is spun into a huge issue. Something worse happens somewhere and it is barely reported, if at all.
This is the sad irony of making a huge fuss of "black lives matters" when really they (or non-Armerican/non-Western) don't. What matters is the American village.
This is virtue-signalling and will actually anger, as it always does, many who are not part of the worthy few.
