To extend. Treat everybody fairly and equally. Don’t be an asshole.

Great advice. Unfortunately, there seems to be a real desire out there to create little political fiefdoms around projects.

Totally do not agree. Ethics and morals are tied to action. You cannot develop an AI tool without biases, you cannot develop GPL open source software without doing an act belonging to the left, you cannot ask for premium fees on your open core without doing something that belongs to the right. Just state your politic side, and do your work anyway for the benefit of every person, left or right.

What a manifesto for allowing absolutely awful terrible people in to do awful harm and hurt to your community, your project.

It's almost entirely only very right-wing people with very mean views saying this stuff. It's itself political to allow people who are fascist in, people who actively wish to persecute & oppress others.

The paradox of tolerance does not allow this.

And it's open source! We aren't here to be neutral! Your presence here is a political statement unto itself, reflects against most other modes of economy of the world, stands in stark contrast! We ought to be vocal and proud about the open source ambition itself!

Bring yourself, and help others find their better supportive inclusive diverse selves, expand freedom and possibility.

The tweet is reasonable. People who object to something reasonable don’t make any sense. The political extremism needs to go away for society to be healthy.
