Actually I think this is pretty smart. This will deter people who disagree with those values to even participating in the community.

- boxed 2y agoHow about just getting the work done?
- heeton 2y agoIt's somewhat naive to think that politics and life are not intertwined. There is no "getting the work done" without a huge amount of hidden politics. Bravo to this community for being explicit about it.
- boxed 2y agoCalling your political opponents, or even people on the fence, "nazis" is a bit much though.

- Morzaram 2y agoSeems like you're reading into this. They literally say " As a community, we want to be friendly too. People from around the world, of all backgrounds, genders, and experience levels are welcome and respected equally. See our community code of conduct for more. Black lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. No nazi bullsh*t. " Considering quite a few contributors in the Gleam community are LGBTQ+ it's seems justified that they want to stand for their contributors rights and safety.
- boxed 2y agoYea, but enumerating BLM skeptics in the same breath as nazis is not welcoming, and it's not respectful. I'm a BLM skeptic because it seems pretty clear to me that the movement has distracted everyone from the real issues of police brutality, under training, and militarization. It's distracting from the real issue of declining social mobility in the US, and it's blaming racism at the same time as nigerian immigrants are falsifying that premise clearly. Making these things into identity issue means we aren't making progress as we aren't talking about them, we're just screaming at each other and blaming the other side.
- avsteele 2y agoYes, i agree it does that effectively now. But what about future issues? See my post below.
