Oh I agree the license of open source lets anyone use it. No debate at all. But the demographics of the community are not particularly controversial and I’m frankly surprised people disagree at all no matter their social or political view point. The HN valley bubble is absolutely disconnected from the rest of the world, but is absolutely representative of the open source developer community. Representative however does not mean exclusively so. Your experience of presumption of political belief is specifically the “dismay” point I made. I absolutely agree there’s a huge presumption based on the overwhelming political alignment of the community and it absolutely makes science denying cryptofascists uncomfortable. What I find unclear is why this makes me close minded. I’m a card carrying ACLU members and 1000% agree everyone is entitled to be as close minded and cruel as they want and am absolutely in favor of seeing Truth Social exist and watch it suck the money of its investors pockets since in fact their views -are- repugnant to most people. But they’re absolutely free to share them at their own expense.
