From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

MODERATORS
Also called moderators elsewhere. Without those, the internet would be unusable for anyone not a cishet white Christian fundamentalist.
That is just nonsense. Without moderators the internet would be unusable for everyone.
Depends on your perspective I guess. The way I see it: Moderators are (partially) there to limit the spread of hate so if you are a hate spreader, you would thrive without moderation, but if you are a hate receiver, you’re better off when moderation rules are enforced.
Without moderators most spaces would be completely unusable due to spammers, trolls and others whose behavior and motivations have very little to do with their sexuality, politics, their skin tone or their religion.
You're trying to dismiss an assertion by submitting a superset of the assertion. Which is usually done to belittle or ignore the orginal point in the argument, which is that a majoirty of those pushing back against CoC also romanticize the old boys group of experts.
The original point was to argue for CoC which is fine and can be done without antagonizing people with the tired old "white cis-het,..." nonsense in this context.
That’s true and is the reason why I said “moderators are (partially) there …”.
Hate spreaders need people to spread hate to, but people that are targeted by hate tend not to hang around in spaces where unrestrained hate is allowed.
You're trying to argue reality is the same for everyone. But as a CisHet Guy It's kind of obvious I get treated better than women and it just gets worse from Woman to then any of the LBTQIA+ community.
I am not even white and christian and I can tell the difference. Please don't try to argue about it being equally bad for everyone if moderation was taken away.
No, I am trying to argue that moderators are relevant long before any of that (discrimination based on race, religion, gender,...) even starts to matter.
Moderation of illegal/forbidden content is not equal to enforcing arbitrary soft-skill based rules.
You think being a bigot is a skill issue do you? Like everyone deep down is just a bigot (self-inferred I assume?), and some people just have the social skills to hide that better? Have you tried not being a bigot instead of just hiding it?
Basically this. Yes. This is how socialization works. This is also how a society works.
I have no problem with Vaxry since I don't know him personally. I don't think we could be friends, based on what he says online. But to me this is absolutely irrelevant when it comes to using the software he maintains.
Well I've got news for you, that's just some bullshit theory bigots come up with to justify their shitty attitude.
If you say so.
Speak for yourself and your bigotted ass.
I can't wait for the rest of the world to he as online as America so we have bigotry of all creed race and sexualities.
Yeah but moderators are not send over by another project. Regardless of how you stand on the main issue, I don't understand the function of the freedesktop team.
