Stop promoting fascists and alt right extremists. Don’t link to their blogs or videos. Don’t let them speak at your conferences. Don’t have them on your podcast. Don’t amplify their voices.

@danirabbit You’d think this would be common sense by now. But… nope.

@danirabbit I'm genuinely so tired of the whole "keep politics out of tech/whatever" thing. Tech is always gonna end up political because we live in a political world. Personally, I will *not* just idly let people who *wish me dead* rise to any position of power, or act like their beliefs don't matter (and if you are not LGBTQ+, see "First they came" by Martin Niemöller and think on it).

We cannot treat politics like minor disagreements any more. Sure, if we all agreed on basic human rights I would be more willing to leave people's politics be, but we are not arguing about inconsequential things, we are actively deciding whether we will respect human rights or let the world fall to fascism.

Fascist apologists or sympathizers are just as bad as fascists themselves.
