No Billionairs at FOSDEM?
Ineptocracy strikes again! A toxic community members latest brainchild: A call to storm jack (nprofile…67ea)'s talk at FOSDEM because he's a billionaire.

Because, you know, free speech is overrated and billionaires are the devil incarnate. I mean, who needs to listen to someone who actually built stuff and has at least some good influence when you can just sit-in and silence them and re-educate us to think the " right" way?

"We'll just sit on the stage until 12:30 PM. Bring a good book." Yeah, because that's not a recipe for disaster, and what the FOSS community really needs is more more drama.

But seriously, folks, this kind of mindset is evil. It's the same kind of thinking that leads to censorship, mob rule, and the suppression of dissenting voices. And it's not just limited to the FOSS community - it's a disease that's infecting the entire tech industry.

So, to all the self-appointed gatekeepers and censors out there, I say: keep on keeping on. Keep silencing voices, keep suppressing dissent, and keep pretending that you're the only ones who truly care about freedom and openness. Meanwhile, big-tech will just be laughing at your ineptitude and watching as you slowly strangle the very community you claim to care about.
