Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply

Even the website contents show that it is no wonder he got banned, he also went to his twitter and made multiple threads on NixOS, how it has gone woke and etc.

I don't even know what to say about it, from one point of view, people like this in the community aren't very good, on the other point banning contributors can be damaging to the whole software.

The issue seems much deeper than I even read, so if anybody is in the Nix community, I would be glad to hear your words on the thing as a whole, a big something something had happened in it. I personally am not that deep, but I will maybe edit this post after to include more info on the whole situation.

If these people want to be the bottoms of rich right wingers, they can do that somewhere else. Their contributions aren't worth the bullshit and the community toxicity.
