Should jonringer get his commit bit back?
discourse.nixos.org
Hi, I haven’t read this thread and I don’t really care to read all of it. I’ve always intended to get back into the Nix community after the issues with community management are sorted to my satisfaction. If jonrigner gets his commit bit back, I’m gonna be gone for good. Create whatever future you want to live in. Be well, Xe EDIT: Looks like his commit bit got back anyways. I hope you all enjoy the future you have created. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.

    I was browsing around trying to find background on this and some dimwits have put up wiki pages documenting a “woke takeover of NixOS.”

    I have not seen a single use of the word “woke” (as pejorative) or the word “wokeism” (at all) which has not been from an overtly racist bigot. The existence of such a wiki page explains everything I need to know. Typical bigotry, including the bigots pretending the situation is the opposite of the reality.

        holy fuck that’s fucking embarrassing. I guess I’ve got one link I can paste when I’m asked for an example of the Nix community being a Nazi bar, cause they’ve kindly implicated themselves in their own words. and this is the NixOS wiki that was our only non-blog source of docs for shit like flakes and various NixOS options and facets of the language for years! this is where most of the text on the (extremely recent) official wiki came from! and here it is, screaming about marginalized people being woke like a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving

          Blows my mind that this exists on what seems to be the official wiki and no one has distanced themselves from it lol

          I feel like such a mark for adopting Nix in the first place

            the “totality” of the fash takeover is fairly recent, but the groundwork has been put in place over some time prior. same play as they do in all the other places they’ve been trying to take over

            at this stage I think the best hope is for lix/aux/guix to continue growing and gaining firm ground, and for people to start moving over, with origin-nix atrophying over time until something is forced to change or it dies off. which is an entirely other pile of problems too :|
