Skipper on Nostr: Open-source projects should remain neutral, leaving politics at the door. It seems ...
Open-source projects should remain neutral, leaving politics at the door. It seems the reality of the Tor Project is diverging from that. Some people may refuse to support or donate to projects whose teams have political stances they oppose. There are rumors circulating that the Tor Project has been compromised for years, which is further fueled by the presence of a team dominated by individuals with strong left-leaning woke views. I've seen many projects in the past year get absolutely ruined due to politics, Godot as a recent example. I also disagree with what happened recently to the Linux Kernel (they kicked out all the Russian contributors without any reason). No open-source project should have politics, don't you agree?
