The topic was « why are people so unwilling to know what beliefs or acts someone holds or performed, when we’re talking about code ».
My answer was : we need to know about these beliefs or acts, so we can make a decision.
I never said I get to decide what’s acceptable. Any individual or project makes that decision for themselves, and that’s why they need to know what the person creating something thinks or does 😀
however we both know that in practice, blacklists (of individuals, as well as belief systems) are shared in the hivemind of shrill voices who worm their way into mod privileges. We also know that facts are immaterial when it comes to that kind of mob justice.
You are, for all intents and purposes, arguing to give veto power over foss infra to those kinds of political activists who say the right words, in the right way, to the right ears.
Given the history of your continent, I find that idea excessively repelling.
No, again. YOU infer that this is what I want. It’s not.
You make a semi-logical jump I never made, along the lines of « oh but this COULD lead to X or Y ».
It’s a conjecture at best, and not at all what I’m saying or “arguing for”.
@bp No one is talking about purity tests. Again, you’re blowing my words way out of what they cover.
I’m talking about informing. What projects, people and communities do with that is up to them. If the will of a projects governance is to block certain people, they’ll do so, and users will then use that information to take their own decisions. The very definition of the “free market” some people seem to advocate for.
@bp @dflxh As per the “shrill voices” and “worming their way” turns of phrases, I find them extremely dismissive and repellent.
Lumping everyone you disagree with as a manipulative type of person who cheated their way into a project is disturbing way of thinking, and of very bad faith and taste. It’s also kind of what you’re accusing these people of doing, which is hypocritical.
@bp @dflxh Sure, cause no one would ever really believe that equality and inclusivity is a good thing. That respecting others is intelligent. We’re all just faking it to avoid being crucified publicly by a minority of people who somehow managed to impose themselves onto the silent 99% of the population.
Surely that’s the most logical explanation 😂
When one just can’t accept reality and is so entrenched in their delusions, the only thing to do is to say “have a nice day”. So Have a Nice Day ;)

The demonic cheese pretzel has you now, it will devour you limb by limb.
"Argargahahah" says the demonic cheese pretzel as it plans your breakfast demise, you mere human being you.
"Your end has come! It is here, your end. No more waiting! Ahghagahahah!" it gargles at you from the kitchen table.
You take a bite.
"No! This was not planned! You are not supposed to do that! Arghrgahhaga (ouch)!" it spurtles.
You take a second bite.
"Bah! You out-foxed me with your ability to move! Arghgagagha." it churtles.
You quietly finish the (demonic) cheese pretzel.
A muffled "Mmmmmumumphnumum, arghgragha live to fight an other day" is the last thing you hear before draining your coffee cup.
