Banned from entgo, why?

I wanted to create an issue, in github.com/ent/ent the size annotation doesn’t have any effect when used on a MySQL database.

I couldn’t create the issue, “unable to create issue”, and no further information.

So I said that I can’t create an issue in their discord.
Then I wrote, “So I’ve been banned. What for? Being to critical of Atlas?”

Without any response I was banned from the discord as well.

?!?

Because I don’t agree with giving them my schema information when I need to use it in a k8s context?

I don’t know because I never received a reason.

Seriously, I’ve had enough of those emotionally and mentally unstable mini dictators, banning people for personal entertainment or satisfying their inferiority complex.

Absolutely unacceptable behavior banning someone from their discord only for asking what’s wrong.

Ariel Mashraki need his head examined.

Update 21. Jan. 2025:
I created an issue with Atlas where I demanded the ban lifted or my contributions, issues, discussions and comments deleted.
That issue was deleted and I was banned from the Atlas repository.
I’m now going to file copyright and intellectural property violations with Github, also find a lawyer to sue them.

Beware of ent (entgo.io)

If you’re using Go, you’ve likely heard of ent. Some Ex-Facebook employee maintaining and developing an open source version of the public version of Meta’s entity framework for Go.

Well there’s a catch.
Migrations.

They sweet talk you in their documentation to use Atlas. Ariga’s Atlas, not the MongoDB one.
But Atlas is a proprietary cloud offering.
There might be a free tier, but who cares?
You have to give other parties access to your schema, if you want to containerize your binary or even if you’re not distributing your schema with your binary. Not just your schema, also your database.

To me that is a breach of trust.

That is “open source” software being used as bait for a lock-in cloud offering.

Update 18.01.2025: Apparently this post, criticizng their company got me banned from their github and discord server, from the discord server just for asking why I was banned. So I’d be double as careful when dealing with this arbitrary Dictator Ariel from ent.
