TL;DW - The Arch Linux Community on Discord started a vote to ban links to X/Twitter. But there's now calls and action to permanently ban Arch users who refuse to tow the communist line from the Discord server, the community and the distribution. Anyone who dissents on official channels are getting permanently banned and made persona non-grata. Going further than what the likes of Debian and NixOS have done in the name of DEI.
F.Y.I. SteamOS is based on Arch Linux.
OpenMandriva is very tempting right now on its politically agnostic, neutral stance. The problem is that many of the applications I use are in the Arch User Repository but not on FlatPak or in the OpenMandriva repositories.
Unofficial from what I can tell but those who head the distro need to distance themselves from this and confirm they are a politically agnostic, non-partisan distro. Those in the community are wanting purges of wrong thinkers, "Nazis" and dissenters beyond what anyone else has done. The danger being is that such pressure leads to rash decisions and then consequences.
Better yet, do what OpenMandriva did and call yourself explicitly anti-woke.
Heard nothing yet but you can't raise it on their official forum because they have a Code of Conduct that explicitly bans such political discussion!
This seems to me like some usual discord tranny shit. As long as they don't go about and disallow it on the forum I couldn't care less. I do see your point though and would love them to outright say they don't give a fuck and won't ban shit.
There's been an update tonight - anyone asking for Arch's clarification of their position regarding being politically neutral is having posts deleted and banned on their official channels.
As I feared, it appears they've been infiltrated by those who have a woke agenda.
Which leaves me with a terrible dilemma. Because I use a fair few things on Arch that simply are not available in OpenMandriva having spun up a live image tonight. I prefer the concept of a rolling release and up-to-date software but there are a few showstoppers with me moving over at the moment. I'd have to compile a number of programs for a start which I could do but the AUR helpers make it so convenient.
Practically all of it is now. Including the kernel (using the Contributor Covenant). OpenMandriva is the only distro that has publicly and explicitly declared themselves anti-woke. Beyond that it's either OpenBSD, TempleOS or living in a log cabin.
The Arch Linux Discord is not the Arch Linux community. Just like the Arch Linux subreddit is not the Arch Linux community. Archers in the forum and on IRC would just ignore and laugh at things like that.
Oh and... Lunduke is just another of the small hats tribe. He's probably not really used to tell the truth.

Debian is worse, considering this came from official channels.
Is this official and associated with the devs? Since Arch guys seems to be good kind of oldschool and use IRC and Forums :D

I'm concerned about infiltration and how many on that Discord have influence within the distribution.
Fair, def. something to keep an eye on in any official areas. I tried OpenMandriva a bit before, it's alright. I'd probably miss the AUR though.

When did Linux become tranny tier? i'm out of the loop
The common variable is autism.
It is genuinely mind-boggling how zealously the tech nerds have re-implemented the HR department in their hobby projects
The whole point of working on these projects used to be there wasn’t an HR department
Practically all of it is now. Including the kernel (using the Contributor Covenant). OpenMandriva is the only distro that has publicly and explicitly declared themselves anti-woke. Beyond that it's either OpenBSD, TempleOS or living in a log cabin.
My log cabin runs OpenBSD.
When it became easy enough to install and work with really
That probably helps, but there’s definitely an autist to tranny pipeline that naturally puts pressure on certain tech groups to go woke too.
It's undeniable, shame in this climate that we won't get statistics, the venn diagram of autists and trannies is a circle.
About the same time as literally every thing else on the planet.

I didn't even know Arch HAD a discord. Reddit I knew but I honestly don't see the point when the official forums exist and are much more useful.
The point is exactly what it seems: subversion.
Makes sense, they should def. wash their hands off of anything unofficial.
This was not done as a joke
Institution, not explicitly right wing, etc ad nauseum
If SteamOS is involved, you can bet that M$ put some dollars in that jar.
Just fork arch and call it Not Faggot Linux.
Title is premature. Are any of the lead maintainers insufferably woke? It is part of SPI, which may or may not have cancer CoCs.
Happy popos user here
just use Voidlinux
