In a time where a belligerent crowd of rowdy people with a shallow education in social pseudo science, a penchant for social atomisation and self-victimization has our industry by the throat, you'd have to be a fool to do anything, even something as simple as wearing a hat, that goes against the contradition-riddled narrative being spun. It's akin to pissing into the wind. Unless you've something to sell (including yourself via talks/appearances), stay off social media, except for interactions with your close friends/family, don't engage with this nonsense and just focus on your own skills and growth, both tech-related and not. It's not worth it and this is all destined to blow over. Remember when we all used to agree to not engage the troll? That applies more than ever. The Linux Foundation has been an utter shitshow for a while now, but who actually cares? Keep using its members' projects for free, don't support the foundation financially and move on with life. It will all blow over. Don't cause your career irreparable damage over a bellicose flash in the pan.
