Re: Hacktoberfest 2022

Visited the site. Lots of big fat capitalised text is WAY TOO LOUD, somewhat overwhelming.

Not feeling like I was getting any of it until I reached the ABOUT page - to quote.

Hacktoberfest is DigitalOcean’s annual event that encourages people to contribute to open source throughout October. Much of modern tech infrastructure—including some of DigitalOcean’s own products—relies on open-source projects built and maintained by passionate people who often don’t have the staff or budgets to do much more than keep the project alive. Hacktoberfest is all about giving back to those projects, sharpening skills, and celebrating all things open source, especially the people that make open source so special.

But then upon clicking the DISCORD link which opens to this page https://discord.gg/hacktoberfest

super meticulous Firefox says

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue.

I guess I am just getting too old for this kind of thing.
