Agreed. Tech is and should never be political.
These kinds of statements also basically says you are not welcome if you decide not to support movements like BLM. Perhaps as a user it does not matter, but imagine if you were a maintainer?
Best to keep these discussions out of Rust and other projects as much as possible. So yes, you are not alone in this.
I have to point out however that there are aspects of just pure human decency that should be a given in any kind of collaborative project.
- dav_p23 6y agoI might be wrong, but police shows little to no respect for any human being right now. Old people getting hurt because they are "standing in the way" has nothing to do with political views. Just my 2c,oc.
- adamch 6y ago> Tech is and should never be political I'm curious, do you think internet companies should refrain from releasing statements about political issues like net neutrality or the Patriot Act?
- sgt 6y agoNo, but I think that's more comparable to e.g. the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (only the opposite). Even then, it's outside the scope of these software projects, in my view.
