Just to repeat / recap what others have said already.

"No politics in my #OpenSource project" is a political statement. It's a statement of "I'm fine with the status quo, and I don't want to be bothered by people who are hurt because of it."

"Neutrality" doesn't make you look professional. It makes you either look ignorant or complacent.

The whole #FreeSoftware movement is a political movement. So is the idea that you can freely use, modify and redistribute software.

So you should really think where you want to stand. Do you really want to be the complacent fascist enabler, or do you want to actually try making a difference?

You may (or may not) recall the #Freenode takeover mess. However, thanks to #IRC being an open and widely supported protocol, many projects migrated to #LiberaChat with as little disruption as possible.

Good news is, your walled garden is unlikely to suffer the fate of Freenode — because it already is there, from day one. What are you going to do when your project suddenly gets banned and you lose access to everything — including all the data that you shouldn't have kept there in the first place? Of course, come up with some corporate bullshit of "join us on our illustrious journey to the next walled garden, and don't forget to install another 200 MiB privacy nightmare app not to be excluded from our community".

#Discord

WTF?!

Not only plain insulting, but looks like complete #AI #slop. I guess this is the direction where #GitHub is heading.
