    Master, main and abuse
    [09:44] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://danielpocock.com/master-main-abuse/">Master ) [09:44] schestowitz
    [09:44] schestowitz

    Free and open source software communities recently spent a lot of time and effort on renaming the master branches in Git repositories to main, or some other name, due to the association of the word master with the horror of slavery.

    [09:44] schestowitz

    I plan to tackle the slavery issue in a separate blog. In this blog, my target is the misappropriation of the word abuse.

    [09:44] schestowitz

    If we are sincere about abandoning the word master, we also need to stop using the word abuse, except in those situations where it is legitimate to use that word.
