Wow. Imagine a popular OSS author having the opposite viewpoints as you and publicly espousing it on HN. I can't think of one, wonder why.
No wonder you guys are all upset about this, the social gravy train is going away.
- zzzeek 4y agopopular OSS authors, who are in the business of giving their work away for free and helping others use it for free, tend to not be fascists. The core decision one makes, typically early in life, that leads them down the "liberal" or "conservative" path is the decision as to whether or not other people matter. also I have no clue what this "gravy train" you refer towards means. Liberal and left-leaning voices who are too outspoken live under a constant regime of death threats, stalking, and harassment. Right wing extremists pretty much have the microphone already, as I walk in my suburban neighborhood, every TV screen I see through a window is pegged onto FOX all day long. So not really sure what you're talking about.
