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?
