   The Nix community RFCs (by NixOS)

   

   I've been following the actions and discussions of these activists in NixOS community since November last year.

   Note that you can't discuss this open letter -- or any issues of that nature -- openly in the official places (NixOS Discourse & Matrix), because there is a risk of getting tarred as "fascist" or "concern-troll" before getting banned. Someone named Ailunarenth respectfully engaged in such a discussion only to get banned:

   If you post in Discourse, it is like to get "unlisted" (meaning censored from Google and other search pages) by the mods. A case in point:

   I myself got banned for a picture of a steak and a link on my website, back in November last year:

   But none of this surprising because "ejecting fascists" (where 'fascist' means "someone whose opinion I don't like") has been the theme of these activists since 2001. See the downvotes in this sensible comment: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/98#issuecomment-902913333
