I wish more people talked about the problem of most Linux/FOSS youtubers being fashy, in hard-to-spot ways.

@joepie91 👀 really? I'm not familiar enough with youtubers in general to know how prevalent this is.

@jonah Prevalent enough that finding an unproblematic Linux/FOSS youtuber is the exception rather than the rule, and something you actually actively need to search for :/

@jonah It's a bit less bad with general tech youtubers, but something about the Linux/FOSS-specific crowd is just a real magnet for fash, it seems

@joepie91 I was just about to say, I wonder if this might be more of a problem with the Linux/FOSS community overall. Certainly not that most people involved with Linux/FOSS are problematic, but that it does seem to attract people who are problematic more than other communities tend to.

@jonah That matches my observations, yeah. It's mainly the "evangelists" who are almost universally problematic...
