I think this should be left up so people know that Sourcehut users can be shamed any minute. I don't agree with the politics of the named people, but calling them "weird"?

He also only singles out right wing people. Let us check the ESR example:

ESR was popular and widely accepted in the 1990s, when all his politics were already known. He was courted by the likes of Guido van Rossum and the OSI fixed the license mess of Python. ESR was made a Python core developer.

Fast forward, van Rossum is now woke and threw ESR under the bus (like GvR does with many people). Then his woke friends, whom he still associates with, canceled Tim Peters. Who is the weirdo and why are the Python wackos not listed?

The DJ Bernstein example:

Bernstein defended Appelbaum due to lack of legal evidence and the right to a fair trial. The accusations against Appelbaum came roughly at the same time as the hit job on Assange with Swedish rape accusations that were dropped later. Very curious that NSA critics were targeted back then.

Calling Bernstein "weird" is just pathetic.

The top image of a "weirdo" applies exactly to whom? None of the depicted people look like that, the ultra-woke scene on the other hand has such individuals.
