Just in case you are wondering, this is what the Nix community is turning into and i am disgusted:

The linked video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR49SQvdxCg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Not too long ago someone was sharing an Uncle Bob video on the discourse.

I pointed out that uncle bob is a racist and sexist and my post was flagged as inflammatory.

Calling a racist a racist is apparently not welcome.
Yet when someone points out that evading/circumventing GitHub blocks isn’t acceptable this turns into a shit storm.

> Unacceptable! This is F/OSS, you should collaborate with everyone!

What the heck.
The future of Nix depends on solving a couple of difficult problems, among them:

Technical guidance, direction and decision making in a transparent manner through elected representation of the community replacing vague RFCs and decision making by a few individuals.
Unsurprisingly those who have established a position of power and influence are those who seem the least interested in making such changes happen -

While at the same time being the best equipped and enabled to do so.
The thread has now been closed as it has “gotten to the exhaustion of all of us”.

The post on the video has been flagged but only 1 person points out that this video doesn’t help.

This thread was about “GitHub block evasion is not acceptable” and had to be closed after 77 posts
Please take a moment to think about the effect this has, the precedent this sets.

If you have a problem inside the community, feel targeted or harassed there is nowhere to go, so you can only speak for yourself and f.ex publish a post on discourse.

After this, who would do that
FWIW,

To anyone who feels completely stuck, has issues and has nobody to talk to:

My DMs are open, speak to me.

I don’t have solutions to everything but I can listen, offer my empathy and i can speak up for you if that is what you want or need.
PS: I was just told via DM that i should refrain from tweeting this because it

"doesn& #39;t do much good to anyone"

If anything this sort of proves my point, doesn& #39;t it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann">
1 more thing

I don& #39;t sit at home rubbing my hands thinking "now i& #39;ll go all in". It stresses me the FUCK out. I get distracted for hours, don& #39;t sleep well and it triggers my tinnitus.

I don& #39;t indulge in this for pleasure.
