 "We are not political, fuck politics, Nazis are welcome" Is this really the kind of community you want to foster for DLang, @WalterBright? Because what you're doing is not how you get an apolitical community, it's how you get a cesspool of highly political bigots and Nazis. 12 comments
The moderators deleted Luna's earlier reply where she called out the BS and abuse she's already gotten from the DLang community. Seriously? After 9 pages of people shitting on Rust for not having Nazis, she writes a thoughtful critique and gets deleted? --- I was actually considering using DLang for some of my projects in the future after seeing Luna's work on Inochi2D, but seeing this? Hell no. I am not touching a community that openly welcomes Nazis, transphobes, and misogynists (and a "no politics" policy *is* that). You want "no politics"? Get rid of the people who make it their personal politics to destroy other people's lives. Then you can have your "no politics". What you call "politics" is about people's survival. LOL at the people still defending the "no politics" angle. You *do* realize this was a forum thread praising "no politics" that quickly turned into a cesspool of bigoted and hateful talk, right? THIS IS WHAT "NO POLITICS" WILL GET YOU. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN ENDLESSLY. There is NO WAY to have "no politics" because what that *means* is "hate allowed". Your little "if we don't talk about politics everything will be fine" bullshit utopia doesn't work because the bigots *will* attack and drive everyone else away. Of course *you* have never experienced that because *you* are not part of one of the targeted groups and *you* need to start listening to those people and ditch your stupid broken approach because IT DOESN'T WORK. All those people saying they "hate politics"? What that *means* is either: a) I hate jews, trans people, women, etc. and I want them out of my communities (or even dead); or And b) only works until the people in a) find a reason to attack you and then whoops! You're a target too. Or maybe someone you care about. So congrats, here's your solution: get rid of the a) people and then the b) people will get what they want. No politics! Until then, sorry, you get politics. It's just the default politics is a bunch of nazis and bigots taking over your community. If you don't do anything about it, you'd better be happy with that outcome.  @marcan @marcan I think it's simpler if you look at politics as the art of getting people with possibly big differences to work together in a project or a society or country or the world. more people means more politics, but it's never zero when your past the tribal cohesion limit "no politics" is just "my politics" since that's the only way to avoid talking about the implied politics. which means "people like me, and not people unlike me" which simply is fascism there is no quiet part here |

Time and time again this whole "no politics, we only care about the code" attitude is just a screaming dog whistle for bigots, Nazis, and abusers. This guy just said it out loud.
If you think it isn't and you haven't figured it out yet, you are not fit to lead a community.
