> Look, the solution to FLOSS community issues is not to whine about them on your blog, that's just as toxic as what these folks are doing

It's not the same. A blog post is a great way of raising awareness of issues.



The thing about toxicity is that it's harmful to those who are most aware of it, such as marginalized folks. So 'raising awareness' is exactly what should not be done in this case! (Of course Drew is not fully cognizant of this, because of the entrenched privilege that's so common in the FLOSS space.) You should instead lower awareness, by offering something better as an alternative.


Are these same "marginalized folks" that the western establishment is nonstop promoting? (and has legislation that enforces their promotion).


Maybe but there's literally NO issue lol
