    If the community itself is discriminating, there’s no way out than to fight or wait for an opportunity. We don’t see black empowerment in China or a pride parade in Iran.

    What I saw in Nix community right now is someone proposed an affirmative action and Jon refused. I don’t see discrimination here.

      pride parade in Iran.

      I suggest to look at the history of Iran.

      Your argument is a bit weird. People are suggesting for more diversity. Then you seem to say that’s bad because they should wait until an opportunity that people fight for more diversity? I’m not following.

        Iran is ruled by IRGC right now. If the community is discriminating to begin with, you have to fight. I’m yet to see how Nix community is discriminating. What I saw is that an active developer got actually banned just for arguing against an affirmative action.

          Are you reading what you wrote? It’s full of contradictions.

          It seems you think that people should be free from consequences until a certain level is surpassed? That’s rather arbitrary.

          What I saw is that an active developer got actually banned just for arguing against an affirmative action.

          It’s often not as simple as how you summarize this. Above is awfully similar to the incorrect claim of “cancel culture”. While often that meant that people think someone should be able to do as they please without any consequences. Except for things they dislike, then there should be consequences.
