Real as you or me, though I disagree with almost everything else the quoted poster expressed other than that forks are happening and the dividing lines include cultural norms rather than strictly technical disagreements. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/breaking-doge-to-recommend-nix-widely/62490 https://discourse.nixos.org/t/breaking-doge-to-recommend-nix... Same author quoted the original text on their Reddit thread and was mostly uncriticized there: https://old.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/1joshae/breaking_doge_to_recommend_nix_widely/mkuw5xa/ https://old.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/1joshae/breaking_dog... I personally found it incredibly distasteful and also fairly representative of the quality of conversation you often get from some of the Nix community. I'm not offensive, you're just thin skinned, can't you take a joke, etc. is extremely common. You'll have to judge for yourself whether it's bigoted or dog whistle or neither. I'm a former casual community member with modest open source work in that ecosystem (projects and handful of nixpkgs PRs) before I left permanently last spring. I no longer endorse its use for any purpose and I seek to replace every piece of it that I was using. I still hear about the ways they continue to royally fuck up their governance and make negligible progress on detoxifying the culture. It took them until last fucking week to ban Anduril from making hiring posts on the same official forum.

Am I supposed to seriously believe people found that so offensive that the poster was banned for that? Were those crying, feigning offence, being satirical themselves? Truly Poe's Law at work here. >I personally found it incredibly distasteful How? Why? It's clearly satire, written in the style of The Onion. >and also fairly representative of the quality of conversation you often get from some of the Nix community Good satire? At least some members aren't brainrotted out to the point of no return. > I'm not offensive, you're just thin skinned, can't you take a joke, etc. It's clearly not offensive and if that upset you, you clearly have thin skin and can't take the blandest of jokes. Histrionic. >I no longer endorse its use for any purpose and I seek to replace every piece of it that I was using. I will also tell others not to use Nix after reading that. The community is indeed too toxic. >I still hear about the ways they continue to royally fuck up their governance and make negligible progress on detoxifying the culture. They won't detoxify until they remove all the weak neurotic leftist activists with weird fetishes for "underrepresented minorities." >It took them until last fucking week to ban Anduril from making hiring posts on the same official forum. I'm not sure who that is or why it's an issue, but I assume it's something only leftists cry about.
