The "apolitical", "we should just focus on the code!", "FOSS is not political", "inclusivity is discrimination!" people need to get kicked out of FOSS projects. Fuck off with your "apolitical" nonsense.
@aylamz Just imagine, instead of ranting about politics here you could've written a patch to actually improve a FOSS project. Keep your shitty ass dumb political agenda shenanigans away from people trying to have fun working on their little projects. Go start a political party if you think you have such big political aspirations.
@tyil That is uncalled for. You are doing exactly the same. Multiple things can be important at the same time, and people can have diverging, and conflicting opinions and still work on FOSS.
@amszmidt I think they can work on FOSS just fine, I even tell them they could've been working on FOSS right now. If you want to just do political stuff, then it makes sense to do that on the political theater to me, rather than just ruin FOSS for everybody who doesn't ascribe to their particular agenda.
We've seen plenty of times on all sorts of platforms how it hurts communities when politics are introduced, most often through codes of conduct. And so far it has never made a community better, or improve the code it writes.
I am very much in agreement that people with diverging, conflicting opinions can work together on FOSS. What the OP is doing here is not working together on FOSS, he's actively trying to stir up drama which will eventually help nobody. That is something I do strongly oppose, and I do think he should take that elsewhere.
@aylamz kicking out people from FOSS is the exact opposite what the software freedom movement is about: everyone should have software freedom even people you dislike.
@amszmidt@aylamz exactly. Freedom to do many things also includes the freedom not to do several things (such as politicizing FOSS). If the project doesn't want it, so be it. If they do, that's fine too.
