Personally I don’t want an OSS ecosystem that banishes trans people or people who had weird proto-alt-right politics pre-Trump. If you’re gonna banish anyone, banish the ones posing existential risks to projects by their brigading against contributors they don’t like.
Yeah, I definitely prefer to be part of very inclusive and open OSS ecosystems, that do things in good faith.
I am not part of the YCombinator or West Coast ecosystem, but didn't it banish gay people with weird pro-alt-right politics pre-Trump, and then supported Trump? Like, for some reason there was a movement to banish Peter Thiel: https://mashable.com/article/peter-thiel-y-combinator
As a country, we ignore the Yemen war, and are told to only clutch pearls about taking money from Russia due to the Ukraine war. I imagine that YC stopped taking Yuri Milner's money a decade ago, partly because of his ties to the Kremlin, but probably it was just a natural parting of ways eventually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15631084
Anyway, just saying ... ecosystems aren't always perfect.
