Given the hyperbole and intentionally misleading content of waay too much of this thread, including its title, the only thing I find strange is that anyone could take it seriously. > Like I said, it feels strange. If you think that's strange you should check out the posts that torpedo'd HardenedBSD's Reddit page. Having seen this before in other projects and knowing some of the sources you wouldn't be mislead by following the money i.e., astroturf. At least the FreeBSD project doesn't utilize professional astroturfers advertising on sites like the Philippines' Craigslist. See also <http://www.cringely.com/2016/12/08/whats-real-fake-news/>.
