Seriously, the worst ones are nodejs and rust: they fundamentally break the nodejs dependency model, flattening everything. They've chosen _controlling_ dependencies instead of _annotating_ them for understanding. Metadata about what's in a package and a package-build-time mechanism for substituting things in lockfiles would be far far simpler for forcing security updates than rewriting everything to use system dependencies, and versions that are not reconcilable.
Heck, both npm and cargo have put a lot of effort into repeatability though not actual hermetic builds, so it's very much Good Enough if you're using lock files. The problems are in updating those, not building packages. Mirror the registries if you need to. That's a much more tractable problem than _rewriting parts of everything you package_ or _eagerly packaging every dependency as a separate [human] task_

And heck if you normalize that kind of speech in the group, the group will break itself. It's great as an adversary. You can use a group's own policing tactics against it.
An awful lot of Mastodon rhetoric sounds at first glance like persuasive rhetoric, but if you think about it, you realize there's no argument being presented, only affiliation. "I'm one of the good ones, believing the right things.”
... and it's real hard to tell a genuinely radical version of that from someone dealing propaganda to fragment a group. "Real members of [group] believe [extreme version of thing]" is actually a tactic to _break_ that group.
Oh goody, a LinkedIn connection request with a message!

NDAs and other gag agreements.

Chromium that begs authors for ARIA to parse content.

Which aren’t genuine results.

Ah, snake oil.
