With the attitude by certain protectorates in here though, it's clear that there is an elitist boy club that is pretty much bashing people left and right in order to get their way.
It's quite childish actually and gives me a bad taste for the whole situation. Am I supposed to recommend this to a professional network, when THIS is the language used?
"Oh but it's just a forum" - run by cherry picked moderators who are sitting on their hands.
It makes me ashamed to think that the one true contender against #redhat and #RHEL on this side of the pond is currently run by a bunch of irradiated crybabies.
We were supposed to be better. What even is this?
You are bad at communicating and should feel bad about communicating. Stop pretending like you're not using community labour to prop up some future #SaaS. It's ridiculously insulting to the intelligence.
And if you call them out? Oh my lord. Geez Louise! Whate even is this?!
My previous praising of how "things have calmed down" makes me feel stupid, because i had not put myself into the communication being passed off as "civil discourse".
This is (for lack of better words) cringe. Absolute cringe. It smatts of the Silicon Valley tech bro attitude that we all supposedly despise - complete with idol worship and frail masculinity.
This is not what was promised. This is not okay by means of the imagination, especially now with the geo-political situation.
This isn't something you can hide anymore. This will be clear to anyone with access to an LLM and the wherewithall to see what defines community morale.
Basically this means that as I've always said: THE #COC IS OPTIONAL, and that is intentional. Now you can allow people to play favourites, have insider cliques, enforcers, yada-yada-yada and so forth.
When public officials then figure this out, they will avoid you like the plague, because they already have previous experience with this sort.
If you are a maintainer of #nix, #nixpkgs or #nixos: listen up.
You've got about 2 years or so being a serious contender, until someone like #lix or even #ostree with #ComposeFS comes in and eats your lunch.
Part and parcel of that is the community, the language, the security of knowing that there is culpability and responsibility.
Linus Torvalds had to walk it off because an entire foundation told him to. If the nix "community" is beyond this, why give #DeterminateSystems contracts?
