Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm curious, how does it make you feel to know that the team behind the Tor Project (https://www.torproject.org/about/people/) is comprised primarily of woke LGBTQ+ individuals, with pronouns on their bios. Some even express their support for Antifa on their social media. https://image.nostr.build/21e206d67c522551fde9d7a9ad485fda6d17f1471a5114c87b7f64c6591fef14.png
Why does this even matter to begin with?
Not good. Can you recommend any alternative projects that provide a similar level of protection?
Couldn't care less, they are just people like everyone else. Look deeper bud.
I've seen many open-source projects in the past year get absolutely ruined due to politics and wokeism. You haven't?
Seems pretty gay but oh well
I feel same vibes with "project XXX has mostly just white cis hetero men working there!!". why do you care people being gay or against fascism, bro, kinda sus.
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?
