@geartoward people have developed big negative reactions to any of this because of fdo, nix, and finally python.

when core contributors are getting banned and censured for questioning power-mad despots (which is basically what the python DEI team fight was about) it basically feeds back and makes everyone more likely to shoot anyone on sight that exhibits any qualities related to the poison in their communities.

i think godot was a mishandled joke (they could have just *not banned* everyone and everyone would have got on with their life) but there is enough precedent that you can no longer say moderates and christians are not being purged from online spaces
