Many of us at GNOME are very loudly outspoken about being against Israels genocide and against zionism. I wish the foundation would move out of the US, but accusing GNOME as a whole of being Zionist by being in the USA is just incredibly reckless and inconsiderate. Take this attitude and point the fingers at the people in charge at the US that implement these bullshit sanctions.

we disagree but at least you wrote a civil and coherent reply

credit where credit is due

one final point - we should speak out, and not simply silently ignore issues - nothing changes that way

there's an ancient wisdom in one of the world's major religions which says that if you see something bad, act against it, and if you can't act, speak against it, and if you can't, then at least feel it in your heart

some of tech/oss people can't even do that minimum

imagine saying

"naaah its too much effort to do anything about trans hate in open source"

the first step to change is to speak out against it, even if you can't currently do anything physical about it

"but what can we do"- is how genocides happen

that's the point

they haven't "done everything they can"

firs they mock the issue

then they say its too much effort to move

then they accuse you of being a bot or maga

then they block you

would this be acceptable if the issue was biasing against women or lgbtq+ people?

oh wait - the open source community has long had issues with diversity and equality

this immature "teenage sweaty tech boy" is exactly the culture they need to grow out of

Get the fuck out the USA then.

OpenBSD did.
