The community is more important than the product. — Pieter Hintjens Dear contributors to the Nix ecosystem, dear users, We recognize that the Nix community keeps growing and changing, and its governance has not been adapting accordingly. While the foundation board was never intended to lead the community, we cannot deny that it is perceived to be in that role by many, and we therefore take full accountability.

    Eelco is also leftist so no

    There’s a difference between a leftist and a left-wing extremist like the handful of people involved with the open letter

    also the maintainers are what make nix be nix so yes, it’s has the potencial to affect a lot of people

    Yes of course, but the maintainers aren’t really affect either.

    What I’m saying is there are only a few maintainers upset right now, and if the tide turns (which it looks like it has) only a few maintainers on the other side will be upset.

    My point is overall only a few maintainers will be upset, like 10-20 or so out of thousands, so the status quo will stay the same.

    has very good arguments(with proofs)

    Not really

    that don’t have any correlation with left or right

    Strong correlation with far-left extremist ideas, actually

    you need to give a good argument if you want people to belive in you

    Those writing the open letter didn’t give good arguments, so I don’t need to either

      As opposed to the right wing extremists supporting the military industrial complex and starting a capitalist coup of nixos (detsys) to take over the community? ( We can all grasp at straws you lunatic)
