NixOS commits a 'purge' of 'Nazi' contributors, forces abdication of founder

 "I must express my deep disappointment and disbelief at the accusation of excluding people from minority or marginalized backgrounds," stated the Nix founder in a blog post on April 26th. The following day, the Nix Foundation Board denounced the words of the Nix founder. Then -- and this seriously happened -- the Nix Foundation Board began drafting an abdication letter on behalf of the NixOS founder. This is real. Eelco Dolstra, the founder of Nix, had an abdication letter written for him and was pressured into signing it. One of the drafters made a note to the Nix Founder that he must add himself as a signatory of the letter "for it to appear amicable". The abdication letter was posted, with the Nix Founder as a signatory, on April 30th. (

This is exactly right in my view. There is absolutely no human endeavor that is divorced from being “political” if it involves people. Moreove...
) The NixOS Saga is Not Finished This, truly, is a crazy tale. Political extremists taking over a successful Open Source project -- from the inside -- and imposing wild, discriminatory, political policies. Followed by the vilification -- and mass "purge" -- of any who opposed their extremist politics... culminating in the (seemingly forced) abdication of the founder of the project itself. And, perhaps even more wild, is the fact that this is only a small fraction of the NixOS story. A story with a huge number of players, and hundreds of pages of documents. In-fighting. Abuse. Politics. And more than a few swear words.

We should better seize this chance!

"Let‘s talk about @ambosstech ‘s new product „Reflex“ and why you should close all channels to Amboss immediately. Reflex is a product bringing OFAC compliance to LN Nodes, yet the product is advertised as increasing „Freedom“ for node runners - and freedom, according to Amboss, apparently means compliance with some of the most unjust, racist regulations existing in the world today. OFAC enforces trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security interests. These include financially interacting with *any* individuals from countries such as Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, or Syria. OFAC discriminates, based on country of birth, residency, and citizenship, against some of the most vulnerable people around the world. For years, particularly people of middle eastern descent have been subject to no-notice account freezes and account closures, if they are even able to open a bank account at all - all thanks to OFAC." ... "If you believe for bitcoin to be freedom money, and want it to remain an important tool for human rights, close all channels to amboss nodes and stop using their services immediately." Source
