They're also explicitly pro-DEI, given the next paragraph.
"It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome."
- delaminator 10mo agoThat's Equality not Equity.
- voidUpdate 10mo agoThat's Inclusion
- mort96 10mo agoNo, it's not. It's a statement opposing explicit exclusion, but that's not the same as inclusion. EDIT to make this comment a bit more useful and productive: When people talk about "inclusion" in a DEI context, they typically mean making an active effort to include a diverse set of people. Outreach programs, looking at the community to identify things which drive away groups of people, that sort of thing. It can mean cracking down on "jokes" which make fun of some groups of people, or discussions of topics which make groups of people uncomfortable, etc. It's a very different beast from just having a policy against explicitly disallowing contributions from people based on their group identity.
- tosti 10mo agoThis. Inclusion for everyone who adheres to any kind of code is really just a cabal with different feathers.
- delaminator 10mo ago"We don't care who you are, anyone can contribute to our project as long as they're good enough." That's not diversity, nor equity , nor inclusion.
- speed_spread 10mo agoIt's the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" of contributors agreement.
- hagbard_c 10mo agoGood, that's the one we want. Don't tell me whether you like gravy, don't tell me your favourite colour, don't tell me about anything not related to the project unless it happens to be in a discussion totally unrelated to it. It is not that I mind knowing whether you like gravy or prefer green over red, it is just that I'd rather not have to think about whether you're in the gravy-faction or the green camp and have to tailor my communication to those preferences just in case I insult someone by stating that just like K.D. Lang [1] I can't stand gravy. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXqPjx94YMg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXqPjx94YMg
- b00g13bored 10mo agoYet here you are sharing preferences no one asked to hear about.

- voidUpdate 10mo agoI don't see how they are any of those things either...
- snowram 10mo agoHuh huh, he could have just said "PRs are welcome" then. This is a window manager, no need to be weird by being this specific.
- HeckFeck 10mo agoIt's an abortive attempt at parody. Could've just said "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" and we could at least enjoy the throwback.
- ri0t 10mo agoYo, thanks for the throwback [1] XD [1]: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f8/Internet_dog.jpg/220px-Internet_dog.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f8/Interne...
- zzo38computer 10mo agoIt isn't DEI. The problem with modern politics is that one side is DEI and other side is racist and they are both bad. Xlibre specifically says they are neither, and therefore it is better.
- komali2 10mo agoI think you're using the American right wing definition of DEI which describes a bit of a strawman. In reality, a leader establishing a rule that people aren't to be discriminated against based on e.g. race or gender, is an example of a DEI policy. So when I said anti-DEI is a marker for a specific political ideology, it's really because it's a marker for the kind of media a person consumes, which informs the definition of DEI they're using.
