I want to believe but it seems like the community itself is obsessed with meritocracy rather than actual leadership.

This isn’t the first time this has happened (first as tragedy second as farce). And the fascists really want to hold their grip on power for years on end.

Tbh NixOS isn’t a monolith and there has always been the running joke of the nix triangle (NixOS is not Nix is not Nixpkgs). Lix exists, nixpkgs exists as a behemoth all to its own and the cppnix detsys nix people can be chuds in their own spaces.

I just don’t think the community is a safe space at all. One admin level user on discourse literally said its supposed to be an escapist hobby (read: white boys club). I would not recommend any minority navigate this space as it stands now.

I’m sure you’ve seen my other post on this topic, but if not here: https://hexbear.net/post/6447348
