Tldr: They’re a reminder of slavery, some people feel uncomfortable using / hearing them, it would not be hard for you to make their lifes a bit better by not using them but you can obviously do whatever you like.
That isn’t remotely what they said. And if you seriously think we need to have “master branch” on GitHub in order to remember slavery I don’t know what to tell you.
So an inadvertent reminder/source of discomfort means someone is advocating for something?
Are you sure I’m the one who needs help interpreting text? On want planet could you read that as an accusation of being “Pro-slavery”? Like in favor of it. That’s patently absurd. And you know it’s absurd, you just don’t care because you’re trying to create the least charitable interpretation of someone’s text despite the fact that they were very clear with their language.
You also didn’t respond to the bit about how we don’t need “master branch” to remember slavery happened. So I’ll just assume you realized that was a ridiculous thing to say.

If you can’t even interpret that little text, you should go back to grade 1 school
