Eelco is also leftist so no (this is said in the open letter) also the maintainers are what make nix be nix so yes, it's has the potencial to affect a lot of people and the link send explaining the situation has very good arguments(with proofs), that don't have any correlation with left or right, you need to give a good argument if you want people to belive in you

There's a difference between a leftist and a left-wing extremist like the handful of people involved with the open letter

also the maintainers are what make nix be nix so yes, it’s has the potencial to affect a lot of people

Yes of course, but the maintainers aren't really affect either.

What I'm saying is there are only a few maintainers upset right now, and if the tide turns (which it looks like it has) only a few maintainers on the other side will be upset.

My point is overall only a few maintainers will be upset, like 10-20 or so out of thousands, so the status quo will stay the same.

has very good arguments(with proofs)

Not really

that don’t have any correlation with left or right

Strong correlation with far-left extremist ideas, actually

you need to give a good argument if you want people to belive in you

Those writing the open letter didn't give good arguments, so I don't need to either

What is the left-wing extremism in this case?

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Left wing extremism lmfao. You dropped this 🔴

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

As opposed to the right wing extremists supporting the military industrial complex and starting a capitalist coup of nixos (detsys) to take over the community? ( We can all grasp at straws you lunatic)
