   re-upping this thread.

   folks, please don't ignore those red flags. they may not be cause for immediate action, but they are cause to keep your eyes & ears open.

   edit: on 2nd thought: maybe just keeping your eyes open isn't enough. maybe it's better to actually do a little digging after you see a red flag. because it turns out that justinmk, a lead neovim maintainer, has a yt playlist labeled "history" featuring multiple talks by curtis yarvin.

     it would help a lot if open source projects could make it a standard thing to have a boilerplate pro-Diversity, pro-Equity, pro-Inclusion statement on their project page.

     there are lots of good reasons to do this, but one simple practical reason is that if you do that, then we won't need to spend time doing detective work to figure out whether any of the maintainers is a fucking nazi.

     anyway, drop neovim.
