Lot of "I don't really understand what this is about but I'm going to insert my opinion anyway" going around in land lately

Like, I'm fine with people newly getting involved in the conversation, but when it's so clear that this is a long-running situation, do your fucking homework first before commenting the same tired takes we've heard a hundred times before

@joepie91 sounds like it's about flakes?

@hllizi Nope, it's about the moderation/governance shitshow

@joepie91 ah, ok, nothing technical then. Only heard that something was going on in this direction, didn't have the energy to get involved.

@joepie91 I have used NixOS for a couple years now but I haven’t really followed the conversation. I looked at the open letter & found it convincing… (I’ve contributed a bit)

Is there somewhere I can learn more? I’m vaguely annoyed & aware of the tense atmosphere enough to consider Guix as an alternative.

@anselmschueler It depends a lot on the specific sub-crisis that you're asking about; there's not really any central documentation of the issues with eelco that I know of (besides the letter), but for eg. the moderation issues, the discussions in RFC98 are a pretty good first insight in how long this crap has been going on for
