I feel like the cutting of DEI and wokeness, especially from Big Tech is just going to bring more of that crap to FOSS spaces and make the wokeness problems there much worse.

You are already seeing it now as even more people are ditching Twitter in favor of Mastodon and BlueSky. You also have European leftists boycotting all American companies out of fear that they may be funding trans genocide, so expect more of them embracing FOSS and ruining even more projects and services.

@xianc78 maybe it'll hit a critical mass and convince the more productive members not to engage with people who are like that - sort of like with what happened to John Carmack. He's still not based, but I think he gets it more now

@bajax @binkle I assume it has something to do with BasedCon, some convention he was invited to which was openly anti-woke.

@xianc78 @bajax yeah that was it - he went nominally anti-woke and people flipped
@binkle @xianc78 OMG he went to a con called BASED CON? that's so BASED it totally owns the libs
@bajax @xianc78 that was almost exactly the tenor of it
@binkle @xianc78 why can't we accept basedism as a religioin just as balid as any other?
a lot of the foss stuff was already troonified way before DOGE, we need to make based foss stuff and gatekeep the hell out of who contributes

@kroner I know that a lot of projects have been pozzed before DOGE, but I feel like DOGE is making it much worse.

Yeah, honestly though I could give less of a shit as to the identity of who contributes to the code but the problem is that troons always find a way to make some dumb "code of conduct" bullshit and police who can and cannot contribute as well as just being insufferable in general.

Hopefully it reaches critical mass and people just stop working with the stinkditches and pooners
@kroner @xianc78 i think their next thing is aggressively pushing for non-free "ethical licenses"
they can have that license, real ones use +NIGGER

@kroner It isn't just trannies pushing that shit. See Drew DeVault.

@xianc78 @kroner Remember the 2016 election, the CVille protest, and J6? It's just another excuse to put 3 feet on the gas.

@PurpCat @kroner You literally have the LGBT community recommending FOSS even more now because they are afraid that Musk and Zuckerberg are going to dox their locations and drone strike them.

@xianc78 @kroner it's time to see who hates you more: spiteful mutant FOSS devs or the Microsoft Indian programming team.
@xianc78 As I learned from the Tumblr Porn ban, it's going to just get worse.
