In the past 48 hours I've seen "If you use a tiling window manager you're probably a racist toxic fossbro", "if you support FOSS you're likely a liberal or a toxic fossbro", "If you use emacs you're part of the problem" and uh...

Can we just stop putting people in bins based on what tools they use and, more likely, what they had available to them when they first learned how to interact with tech?

Y'all stressing me out because I've seen these funny little takes go viral and become zeitgeist material.

@trysdyn Fundamentally, I agree, but I would maybe say there is a certain overlap between certain groups. For example, some people behind the "suckless" software are literal fascists and I basically only know outspoken users of their software that tend to think into the same direction

@waweic the thing is, you could take any group based on what they make and would find members of group $x in them. take ecology movements, there are radical lefts and blood & soil people found there. there are likely anarchists and fashists to be found in the group of people who bake bread.
it isn't simple and it's dangerous to try to find simple solutions.
